Black Eyed Man - Antimatter

Keep working hard on your appearance

'Cause you know when you’re in, you’re in

The drive flickers like a candle

Accessing lines stored within

Old man berates the congregation

Instill a fear he’ll soon expose

Replete with a wooden constellation

To seal the doors closed

While he sold his children’s souls

Feed yourself when you can

Black-eyed man doesn’t understand

That the world is no more stupid than he is convincing

When will he understand?

The politics of a man

With a gun in a gentle hand?

It’s the tolerance of those he tried to piss on

That let him get this far

But he thinks he won the hand…

There’s a black old soul

In a black-eyed man

Too steeped in lore to make a change

Too predisposed to compensate

Stuck on the roundabout

With no idea the inside is out

So on we play

Feed yourself when you can

Fool yourself when you can

Kill yourself when you can
