.​.​.​And We Expected Salvation

from Incredible Tales from the X​-​Class by Peck

/

lyrics

Such a shame
How wait we wait
To be saved
To be saved
And every claim that we make to haste
Just reinforces our place
As some kind of servant class wishing
And clinging still to a vision
Of a silver bullet way to be safe
But just like all that money we put away
We can never be saved

No you ain't what you think
You're just another empty seat on the train
No you ain't what you say
No you ain't what you think
It ain't rebellion just to drink and behave
No you ain't what you say

Such a shame
How be built this straw man
Just to pick him apart to complain
And after all the talk of history made
We stayed exactly the same
Throwing tears back into tissues
Stomping our feet at the misuse
Of this polluted chamber, what did we say
There could be million ways to spin into waste
Just reinforcing our place
