PHASING OUT
(written 2012-2013/recorded 2013)
after we had put
our noses to the grindstone
we were allowed
to retire
after we had worked
our asses off since immemorial times
we were allowed
to respire
the strokes now turn
into a stroke
our job now is
to waste and croak
after being sacrificed
and after being slaved
within the working world
our mission is accomplished now
this is the righteous thanks
so thank you for your gratitude
that’s how we’ll be
phasing out
phasing out
phasing out
we’ll leave behind
merely our carbon footprint
so you’ll hardly
feel a thing
most of us will
fade in grinding poverty
thus you’ll hardly
hear a ping
the weals now turn
spokes of the wheels
our job now is
back out of deals
after all those payments to
the pension funds and all
we find that there’s not much
that’s flowing back to us
this is the righteous thanks
so thank you for your gratitude
that’s how we’ll be
phasing out
phasing out
phasing out
you can’t take away from us
our last resort
rock solid sheer belief in
afterworld
there we’ll find all things we had to
go without
the virgins, music, wine in
paradise
the absence of physical
infirmities
and our hope for this will spring
eternally
‘cause this life must not be unfair
no this life must not be unfair
to us
