about

This was written about a rich man buying a whole sweet shop, yet not one chocolate bar will taste as sweet as the poor man who spends his last pennies on a chocolate bar.

lyrics

Babylon is bleeding
beneath the sea
an Orwellian Eden
grows around me
fly too high to the sun
and break your back
in the war you won

i want my head to stay
above the clouds you make
your Nobel man of peace
still feeds upon the weak

there is something on the inside
a richer man whos blood
boils different than the poor man
and his food don't taste as good

im sick in my stomach from your medicine
im sick of the cameras and all the kings men
