about

Matthew 6:19-21 & 24

lyrics

Thirty pieces of silver
Or a front loading washing machine
Cash upon delivery
Re-defines the material dream
Nightmares upon nightmares
Fat coins in a field of decay
Sell yourself for a cheapening price
But at some point you know you must pay
Limited credit, limited thought
Limited company with your green paper snow
In the crumbling courtroom
The judges feel growing distaste
They claim the wool has been torn from their eyes
Yet they’re still blind from the paste
Atrophied and listless
In the light of a colour t.v.
Many souls have been channeled and changed
And carried too far out to see
The snow-storm is howling
As it stretches the armament sales
The ship is listing badly
Tormented by monetary gales
The fantasising passengers
Light candles in front of their clocks
Each of them hoping the hands will go backwards
All dreams to be scotched on the rocks
