The Code For Social Change

from The Dandy at the End of the World by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

Saw a lizard beheaded by a cat in the mountain
Death allows transformation
What do I want from the psychedelic rite
The code for social change
When you’re empty of love ask the medicine what moves
Or fill the space with fear
Don’t go into the foetal position
You have to sit up and sing

CHORUS 1
How can you understand death, stand back and observe
Like inside a prison cell, if the greater good is served

Comforts I can’t bear to give up
Grief beckons fortitude
There’s a deep-seated trauma we live in scarcity
That nature will not be renewed
That we’re strangers each to the other
Powerless to realise a plan
We can only all come together
In Civil Defiance en Masse

CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
Separated from the system, stand back and observe
How can you understand death for the sake of life on earth
