Metropolis Lyrics by Jack Strify

Illusion

2014

[Verse 1]
The hammer slams to your heartbeat
Who's the master who's your guide?
Systems inbred and perverted
Advertising selling lies

Clock keeps ticking till it's over
Someone's standing in your line
Grabbing hands are on the table
Feed. Consume. Until you die

[Bridge]
Work!
Work!
Work!
Work!

[Chorus]
We're lost inside metropolis
Work! Work!
We're lost inside metropolis
The judge between our hand
Our brain most be the heart

[Verse 2]
The mind is trained to be stable
Swallowing constructed lies
Constant noise keeps you from dreaming
There's no place for you to hide

Can we remember where we come from
When the walls are painted grey
All the colors that we long for
Guarded outside of our cage

[Bridge]
Work!
Work!

[Chorus]
We're lost inside metropolis
Work! Work!
We're lost inside metropolis
The judge between our hand
Our brain most be the heart (heart)

(Work)
Work

[Spoken Part by Michelle Leonard]
I hold the heart and the crow bar
In my right and my left hand
To build a world and a kingdom
With every woman and every man
Where rays of light reaches darkness
Where everyone will understand
We are all and all is conscious
That we are here to make a stand

[Chorus]
We're lost inside metropolis
Work and work, work and work
We're lost inside metropolis
The judge between our hand
Our brain most be the heart

We're lost inside metropolis
Work and work, work and work
We're lost inside metropolis
The judge between our hand
Our brain most be the heart

[Outro]
Work and work, work and work
Work and work, work and work
Work and work, work and work
Work and work, work and work
