Settle For Semtex

when "reality" wages war with puerile optimism

Hope is dismissed as a passing phase

Tomorrow's dawn will reveal your prospects

A managerial sales obituary carved in stone

I am obligated by my heritage to satisfy the stereotypes

Severed Limbs, cracked mugs and wedding rings

Entombed In rubble bore testimony to this prophecy.

Why settle for less When you can settle for semtex.

I have followed this path throughout the night

But dawn is gradually breaking and I cant contain the fire

Living in security, waiting for cancer, nevermore

When darkness contains your sight its indistingushable from the light

And as I stroll through the cemetry

I struggle to recall the list of failed politicans

Bands and Figureheads who had a golden chance

To break the deadlock, but did not have the key to the gate

This isn't a chorus

This isn't about dying young

This isn't a protest song

This is one man's realization...

why settle for less when you can settle for semtex
