Lonely Road - Lyrics - Genuflect

Genuflection , bending at least one knee to the ground, was from early times a gesture of deep respect for a superior. In 328 BC, Alexander the Great introduced into his court-etiquette some form of genuflection already in use in Persia. In the Byzantine Empire even senators were required to genuflect to the emperor. In medieval Europe, one demonstrated respect for a king or noble by going down on one knee, often remaining there until told to rise. It is traditionally often performed in western cultures by a male making a proposal of marriage. More recently, the gesture is largely restricted to Catholic religious practices.

This is what you wanted Well now you've got it Our time is bartered so we best make haste A lie will travel round the world tonight And by the time it comes back it'll be way too late It's operation occupation- Capital, Corporations You feed the fire but it's never enough I don't make records, I make weapons I send 'em off like time bombs ticking down- Now who do you trust? Tossing and turning - I'm losing control As I'm traveling down this lonely road Never been better, this never gets old I'm just traveling down this lonely- Road to perdition I'm having visions Am I in prison or just lying in wait? A lie will travel round the world tonight And by the time it bites back it'll be way too late Imperialistic, Cystic, Capitalistic- So sadistic You feed the fire but it's never enough This is what you wanted It's what you wanted This is what you wanted Well now you've got it! Tossing and turning - I'm losing control As I'm traveling down this lonely road Never been better, this never gets old I'm just traveling down this lonely- Yeah, look what we've become- The atom bomb, Bhopal, the Love Canal- Take a closer look and look what we've become Exxon Valdeze / Mobil, Chernobyl- Take a look around and look what we've become Three Mile Island welcomes refugees from Thailand Open up your eyes man- What have we done? There's no solution- Just pollution Humanity? *** this institution No absolution- Persecution Spin that revolver- "Revolution" Propping up a puppet- Corrupt *** Dealing with you suckers through diversional goad Worship the War Ship Market horse *** Unraveling We travel down this lonely road This is what you wanted It's what you wanted This is what you wanted Well now you've got it
