end of days © 2021 gary galimidi

living under house arrest

a demon puts us to the test

bodies piled up to the sky 

tribal wars acidify

narratives begin to form

competing theories converging storm

save the market or save the old 

tempers hot….

hearts grow…. cold…cold…cold

lift us up

lift us up

daily briefings end of days

tribal warlords work the waves

this one’s different the world will end

keep your distance forget your friends

some are lucky work from home

cameras networks microphones

but millions just can’t work this way

hopes and dreams fade away

lift us up

lift us up

no more travel no more games

unemployment record claims

getting old I’m getting crank

broke my box broke my bank

pushing drugs we don’t need

fuck you health greeds the creed

banging suit and shoes and tie

way down the road the day you die

lift us up

lift us up

tribal lords grasp for cures

doctors say they’re still not sure

we have to learn to work together 

or happy days are gone forever

His voice grows louder every morning

this may just be our final warning 

if we don’t stop these selfish games

this world will end in hellish flames

tuning out the tribal beat

deceits  and tweets of pimps and cheats

put an end to blue and red

that sanctioned networks toil to spread

put an end to might  makes right

end the need for fight of flight 

park the missile park the bombs

bind the hands that grease the palms

put an end to herding sheep

they catch us when we’re half asleep

tribesmen keep us out of sync

tell how and what to think

put and end to mind control

leaders keep us on the dole

put an end to rich and poor

share the love feel secure

put an end to black and white

lords don’t want us dancing tight

put and end to sound bite labels

they herd us into separate stables

put an end to left and right

return to love on election night

return to love this hate must end

a special prayer to God we send

lift us up

lift us up

lift us up set us free

vanquish fear and insanity

help us end our tribal ways

put an end to end of days

lift us up set us free

vanquish fear and insanity

help us end our tribal ways

put an end to end of days

lift us up

lift us up

lift us up

lift us up

just one is poor  all are poor

just one mourns all mourn

just one is hungry all are hungry

just one is sick all are sick

one oppressed all oppressed

one feels pain all feel pain

one a victim all are victims 

one abused all abused

one bullied all bullied

one tormented all tormented

when one is lifted we make us better

one more consoled we make us better

one more is feed we make us better

one more is cured we make us better

one more is freed we make us better

one more exalted we make us better

one more succeeds we make us better

one more is blessed we make us better

one more finds peace we make us better

one more revered we make us better

one more is loved we make us better

one more included we make us better

lift us up set us free

vanquish fear and insanity

help us end our tribal ways

put an end to end of days 

lift us up set us free

vanquish fear and insanity

help us end our tribal ways

put an end to end of days
