lirik lagu nutter alert – van der graaf generator
by this we are all sustained: a belief in human nature
and in justice and parity… all we have is the faith to carry on.
imperceptible the change as our votes become mere gestures
and our lords and masters determine to cast us
in the roles of serfs and slaves
in the new empire’s name.
yes and every bl–dy emperor claims that freedom is his cause
as he buffs up on his common touch as a get-out clause.
unto nations nations speak in the language of the gutter;
trading primetime insults the imperial impulse
extends across the screen.
truth’s been beaten to its knees; the lies embed ad infinitum
till their repet-tion becomes a dictum
we’re traitors to disbelieve.
with what impotence we grieve for the democratic process
as our glorious leaders conspire to feed us
the last dregs of imperious disdain
in the new empire’s name.
yes and every bl–dy emperor’s got his hands up history’s skirt
as he poses for posterity over the fresh-dug dirt.
yes and every bl–dy emperor with his sickly rictus grin
talks his way out of nearly anything but the lie within
because every bl–dy emperor thinks his right to rule divine
so he’ll go spinning and spinning and spinning into his own decline.
imperceptible the change as one by one our voices falter
and the double standards of propaganda
still all our righteous rage.
by this we are all sustained: our belief in human nature.
but our faith diminishes – close to the finish,
we’re only serfs and slaves
as the empire decays.
