The Merry Thoughts - Second Generation lyrics

We're telling tales of communication, Tall orders to fulfil And the pastiche we've invented Is serving every man A love pays love for lying, A true lie to believe Ideas of lust and dying All carefully conceived We are the second generation We are a nation of innovation We are the second generation We are a nation ... America, america The western dream is gone America asleep, Since mulberry's too long Dry thoughts for the tenant And still they come and go So come and try to tell me Things i already know We are the second generation We are a nation of innovations We are the second generation We are a nation ... And now you stare at me so doggish But your eyes won't make me cry The flowers of romance are trembling Another chance, another lie, Another shadow for new fires Ash-wednesday for the prey And still no-jesus for you Welcome to devastate We are the second generation We are a nation of innovations We are the second generation We are a nation of devastation We're telling tales of communication, Tall orders to fulfil And the creatures we've invented Are serving every man Now we are loving with reluctance Our hearts - they never grew We are meeting in a garden It's the taming of the shrew And now you stare at me so doggish But your eyes won't make me cry The flowers of romance are trembling Because our game was just a lie And in the end we stand alone All that we wanted ... we want it We are the second generation We are a nation of innovations We are the second generation We are a nation of devastation Devastate ... Devastate ... Devastate ... Avarice
