The Old, The Wise and The Ugly Lyrics

My eyes, are burning everywhere I peek

My lungs, are begging me not to speak, hold your breath deep

My teeth, are eating away at my gums, soon it'll be finger and thumb

Our day has come

While the old shadows suddenly start to grow

We just stare on, just another day, just another dawn

And the old and the wise they gather their things and they go

Leaving us uglies but a tin of beans and key with no door

We've lost, our love and filled the hole with greed

We stand, on the ashes of three billion seeds, how many more do we need

We've got, so much choice, but someone took down the signs

Have we lost our minds?

While the old shadows suddenly start to grow

We just stare on, just another day, another dawn

And the old and the wise, they squeal and they scratch and they groan

Leaving us uglies with the scraps of generation
