Like Flies

We’re at a place in history where the bar is at an all time low
We’ve applauded mediocrity till there is no lower we can go
Art has no place in this world of supersize
Follow the leader to the latest pile of shit
Like flies
And those who peddle it sold their own souls long ago
They would not know the difference between Vin Diesel and Van Gogh
They stare at me with envy with their big green bugging eyes
Spreading filth, buzzing all around my head
Like flies
Like flies
Feast or famine, peace or war — life will get you in the end
Sex, drugs, powerlines and vaccinations — something’s going to do you in
There ain’t no way of stopping death when it’s time for your demise
All my heroes and friends are dropping
Like flies
Like flies
