Look inside your velvet dome
is this the life you´ve chosen?
when you wake up at five a.m.
work is calling
the boss is yelling
your mind is crawling Look inside your velvet dome
you take a coffe, a cigarette, a pill
anything to cope
you´ve lost all hope Look inside your velvet dome
society demands conformaty, efficiensy
and your acceptance that their greed and inhumanity
are undisputed facts of living Look inside your velvet dome
is money all you care for?
