Living in Uniform: A Condemnation of Greed and Corruption
Lyrics
It's a sickening moment
Expressing a disturbing moment
When you wake up from the pain
A metaphorical awakening from pain
Lies and destruction for money
Highlighting deception and destruction driven by financial motives
You'll see the wars are in vain
Suggesting the futility of wars
Or we're all dead and gone
Speculating on the possibility of collective demise
Or we're all dead and gone
-Living in uniform!
Commenting on a uniform, possibly conformist, way of living
The stakes are high for the living
Emphasizing high stakes for the living
Perverted greed on the line
Criticizing distorted greed as a motivating force
The war on truth unforgiven
Referring to a relentless war against truth
Corrodes our pineal pine
Mentioning the impact on the pineal gland, associated with perception and consciousness
The facts and figures are haunted
Indicating that facts and figures are plagued or influenced
And on the wars they depend
Suggesting a dependence on wars for certain societal structures
To have the freedom we always wanted
Expressing a desire for the freedom that is elusive
Greed and corruption must end
Advocating the end of greed and corruption
Or we're all dead and gone
Reiterating the possibility of collective demise
Or we're all dead and gone
-Or we're all dead and gone
-... Living in uniform!
Reemphasizing a uniform way of living
The system's failed and it's broken
Declaring the failure and brokenness of the system
The crashing down of the wall
Metaphorically describing the collapse of a barrier or structure
Mankind has awoken
Declaring a metaphorical awakening of humanity
The age of silver will fall
Suggesting the end of a prosperous era
Or we're all dead and gone
Repeating the speculation on collective demise
Or we're all dead and gone
-Living in uniform!
-Or we're all dead and gone
Reiterating the possibility of collective demise with variations
Or we're all dead and gone
-Or we're all dead and gone
-Or we're all dead and gone
-... Living in uniform!
Reemphasizing a uniform way of living, possibly with resignation
