Blot Lyrics - Midnight Oil

Welcome stranger, listen in 

The presumption of innocence was buried again 

Carve up-sell off 

Triumphalism gotta be a curse or even worse 

It's inherited it's recurring 

Oh God 

I have walked, I have swum, I've hitchhiked and I've run 

Do you know what I mean 

I have sat with my beer in the EH Drive-In 

Do you know what I've seen? 

The triumphalist and narcissist are joined ear 

And hip and phone, they're worshiping their chrome 

Carve up, sell off 

Some people speak with chainsaw tongue 

Some just golden arches smile 

Some relish others suffering, some just run and hide 

I have dreamed, I have schemed, I have made myself clean 

Do you know what I mean? 

I have sat up and I have strayed got caught up and I prayed 

Do you know what I've seen? 

The story's just the same but the ending it can change 

He wants to build a monument it's everlasting in cement 

It's cellular recombinant, he is not lite, he will not die 

Carve up-sell off 

Gonna pick up all the pieces they're available from species 

With all the goat and all the sheep 

And all the human bits and pieces 

But he'll make you sign the releases, 'Welcome' 

In the year of the reign of the real citizen 

Kane Wilkommen, the squeeze is on 

It's a falling down on thou and I
