Dead For a Cause
by rev. reverb (sOlO `95)


when luck vanished and only the night was my friend
when life became just another luxury in a material world
when i refused the advice from all sides
when i stepped out of my skin and into the true nakedness of consciousness
when reality lost touch of itself
when rebellion lost it's meaning
when i became a drug, shooting through your veins
when time transformed into stilness

oh how i died...

when luddites built a supercomputer and hippies, a nuclear bomb
when classic rock turned to country
when i read george bush's lips
when sanity became madness and madness became complete insanity
when the system came crashing down and anarchists turned to the system
when aliens were found and turned out to be greedy capitalists
when yippies became yuppies
when grown dogs became puppies

oh how i died...

when i realized that nothing had changed and everything had always been how i
saw it now and that it was my own sanity that had exposed me to the real
reality

oh how i died...
