Last Minute Gifts Lyrics

Heaven help us, no one cares
It's all about silver and gold
Trading slavery in silence
To keep out the concrete cold
The twitch of sex, the keyboard flesh
Mental chains and prisons
Drinking tears and being blessed
By little politicians

We are proud of ourselves,
Still saying the unexamined life is not worth living
Still saying the last minute gift is not worth giving

Lying in the quiet dark
Hear the traffic rumble
Feel it's wish, the grace of this
Here the concrete grumble
The city's lights, lamps and screens
Scream a song of nothing
While you lie there next to me
In our untouchable world whispering

We are proud of ourselves,
Still saying the unexamined life is not worth living
Still saying the last minute gift is not worth giving

We are proud of ourselves,
Still saying the unexamined life is not worth living
Still saying the last minute gift is not worth giving

We are proud of ourselves,
Still saying the unexamined life is not worth living
Still saying the last minute gift is not worth giving
