Songs Lyrics

Talking bout the junkies fix and the skinheads fist and the planets course
And the new titanic and the instamatic and the Trojan horse
And they make them out of clay
They make them out of words philosophers say
And in the end your all alone and your flesh turn to bone
And it fades away and I say
These - Are the Modern Idols

And they worship the State, their wealth
And their pleasure and their power and their pain
And they worship themself
Their birth and their health and the size of their brain
And they say the Divine
Ain't nothing but the image of their own design
But they can't seem to wish away the big black cloud
Where the sun used to shine and I say
These - Are the Modern Idols

They say a cultured man
Is the symbol of emancipation
And they pray to the gods of science for salvation
But while the symphony plays the SS sprays poison gas
They say a cultured man has only learned to kill
With a touch of class and I say
These - Are the Modern Idols
