lyrics

As the morning breaks, first light
She'll dress, soundless, and sigh
Take the clothes from off the line
That she forgot last night

Will there still be work today?
Some pennies toward the loan?
Or will rich white men like me spend holiday at home?

Shadow of consumer god
The have-nots won't sing praise
As your temple reaches higher
broken hands they'll raise

And as if it's not enough to roll my cigarettes
She'll prostitute her little girl
I'll inhale and forget

Shadow of consumer god
The have-nots won't sing praise
As your temple reaches higher
broken hands they'll raise

I don't have to worry
She doesn't have a prayer
I'll drink my cup coffee
And she'll stay way out there

Invisible, forgotten, unthought of or unknown
The fabric that she weaves decorates my home

The irony of empire
is that the untouched land
seems to be our favorite vacation in the sand

We want to retire to islands in the sun
Yet all of these islands are fast becoming one

They're fast becoming one
