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
