Renaissance City Lyrics

We reach the city, Caroline and I – everything I thought was true was a lie

Apathetic creatures shuffle about with nothing to believe and nothing to doubt

How did we fail to notice our role as evil overlords, irredeemable trolls

Far above this unheavenly mess, where human morality has failed the test

You won't feel a thing in Renaissance City

And you won't mind at all in Renaissance City

We listen as Helpers read from a script, urging their flocks to give up the ship

Just lower your expectations, they say, and happiness happens at least once a day

Meanwhile, armored security Jacks are beating up Psyches who preach a new path

Zip-tied vagrants assemble in rows, marching in step to parts unknown

You won't feel a thing in Renaissance City

And you won't mind at all in Renaissance City

Somehow, she finds us, my long-lost aunt, with knotted hair and tattered pants

Caroline wants to go home I can tell – her sensitive nose can't stand the smell

We reach the hideout without being seen and Jet introduces her motley team

They surround a dog-eared book of prose, their bodies frozen in a reverent pose

You won't feel a thing in Renaissance City

And you won't mind at all in Renaissance City

Renaissance City, Renaissance City
