letra de gioconda smile - john g. mcdaid

Loading...

living out on chaos street
under layers of plastic sheets
watching a wasted world
that’s lost its nerve
in a huddled heap we’re waiting
as underneath the grating
subway wheels
go shrieking round the curve
at the wrong end of the rainbow
in fear and panic’s shadow
shaking a coffee can of change
while a flood of corporate paper
whispers through this old theater
passed by robot hands kept
safely out of range

it’s a midnight dose of bile
with a mona lisa smile
it’s a russian nesting doll of coverups
it’s a jagged little treat
with the taste of self decеit
where the concrеte meets the luckless page of cups

we’re canaries in a coal mine
every pocket that we find’s
been picked clean by an
invisible hand
nothing gained for all we’ve ventured
we spend our time indentured
to the elites of this
hallucinated land
while we’re hissing on the griddle
the dolt dictator fiddles
and the clock runs out for those
down on their luck
it’s all magic smoke and mirrors
spin the facts, deny the errors
stack the losers in
refrigerated trucks
it’s a midnight dose of bile
with a gioconda smile
it’s a russian nesting doll of coverups
it’s a jagged little treat
with the taste of self deceit
where the concrete meets the luckless page of cups

it’s the ending of our revel
no sympathy for this devil
early on we learned to not expect
too much
there’s no method to this madness
but there’s a science in the sadness
dispensed like iron death
by midas’ touch
we were given the assurance
it’s a matter of endurance
that effort gets you to
the other side
but it’s the twilight of the idols
a daily grim recital
as the market yields
slow motion genocide

it’s a midnight dose of bile
with a gioconda smile
it’s a russian nesting doll of coverups
it’s a jagged little treat
with the taste of self deceit
where the concrete meets the luckless page of cups
