The Altar of Convenience

Hear me, O child, and get in line Prostrate before the dollar sign We’ll starve the beast of hope in our hearts To serve the love of our divine I pledge my life at the altar of convenience There is no price, no debt, too high to pay So feast your mind on my continental genius Cause I was born to live this way This emblem has a warm embrace Like nature nurtures swine We’re getting dizzier off every drop And we’re not getting off this thing alive So hear this, O child, and turn back around Everyone will fall flat for the killing cloud We’ll cheer for the meek when they’re safe in a grave And make love to the time we saved I pledge my life at the altar of convenience There is no price, no debt, too high to pay So feast your mind on my continental genius Cause I was born to live this way I’d give up anything if you give me a way out I’d give up anything if you give me a way out I’m looking for the shine that used to light this place up, couldn’t find it That’s okay, I can find a good replacement Somewhere soft to lay my head down Something warm to drown the sorrows Something busy trading me in One perfect day at a time One perfect day at a time I pledge my life at the altar of convenience There is no price, no debt, too high to pay So feast your mind on my continental genius Cause I was born to live this way
