Metropolis by The Vryll Society Lyrics

You act with impunity
And we just can't let you off
Expose me to the root cause
Of the problems you have made

We people have the tendency
To react on smallest facts
Walk with kings, let them see
Tell your children you are home

Let me drown on solid ground
Take a backseat in our dreams
Articulate, demonstrate
Let them know just who you are

Problem
Solution
Reaction

I've seen the bigger picture
How I'm getting any pickage
The gardens of Metropolis
They are too far away
Every turn of the worker's wheel
Keeps the servants at bay
Can't you see? It's a memory
It's father's ancient ways

Problem
Solution
Reaction

You act with impunity
And we just can't let you off
Expose me to the root cause
Of the problems you have made
