HOSTAGE CALM LYRICS

"Interchangeable Parts"

Impatient, stationed somewhere near the border just between

Hurried youth and static ends.

There’s not much here to defend

The radio’s pushing the orders (cross the border!)

Don’t let me through!

Cause we’re just clearing the way for the suitors of our future



Dress me up in proper clothes

For naked men, it’s far too cold

And if these rags just hide the mold

Of stale desires, then send me home



If there’s not a place for you and me

In tomorrow’s society

Will it hurt you if we wait behind as I fail to find faith?

So here’s to not squinting to see my reflection

In some upscale corporate blight



Caught between wanting to do the right thing

And not knowing what the right thing is:

I guess this is how loneliness feels.



So throw a rope around the dreamers

For they might stray too far

Be careful what you feed the children

Or else they’ll grow kind hearts

Train the ones for the mean machine

Interchangeable, though sad it seems
