A Tale Of Two Cities

by Great Collapse

on Neither Washington nor Moscow... Again (2018)

Like the dogs of western culture

Like these images
We sold ourselves
To graphic demons
Demographics
Polluting all the lonely virtue
In our vulnerability, personality
Shattering a power fantasy
These cliches became the part you fed
Did you starve your heart instead?

All is stolen
In the ghetto
Night
Long shadows
Of the state
In the city light

All is stolen
In the ghetto
Night
Long shadows
Of the state
In the city light

They cloned our childhood
Safe in architecture
Safe from harm
Outer suburban virtual life
This is our last alarm

They cloned our childhood
Safe in architecture
Safe from harm
Outer suburban digital life
This could be our last alarm
Could be our last alarm
Could be our last alarm
Could be our last alarm
Could be our last... alarm
Wake up
Wake up
