Story Behind The Song

Strident political frustration in Art Rock style

Lyrics

Everything is Fine

Giants in the shadows pool their money streams.
Harboring corruption, killing dreams.
So they thrive - while we survive - to find a way.
To somewhere we could go.

I don't seek salvation like some broken man.
I harbor no illusions of any promised land.
Still I'll rise - above the lies - of hate and fear.
To somewhere we might go.

Everyone's opinions are framed in black or white.
While we live in the space between the dark and light.

Everybody everything is fine.
Everything is fine.

Poisoning the water that they don't have to drink.
Teaching lambs to slaughter, not to think
Power whores - lock their doors - to hide the truth.
Of some things we can't know.

I am no magician with tricks hid up my sleeve.
I'm in no position to just pick up and leave.
Still I would - if I could - find a way.
To somewhere we could go.

Anyone who won't agree that what they do is right.
It's all for your protection from monsters in the night.

Everybody everything is fine (Leave it to your betters, you better fall in line).
Everybody everything is fine (Good little sheep just go back to sleep now).
Everybody everything is fine.
