Jackals & Hyenas
All these Jackals & Hyenas in this so-called city of lions
Laughing in their circles in the sun
Reflected in the pupils of a million bountiful cadavers
Somehow dancing, dancing, dancing til the dawn
The puppet strings are like cocaine, baby, and thank the lord for that
The heart & soul have been so dead for oh so long
How else you supposed to move with internal combustion?
The rest of us so harmoniously wrong
Singing
It's meant for me
It's not meant for you
It's meant for me
It's not meant for you
All these Prophets & Disciples of some un-spiritual religion
Talking mash and soup to feed by spoon
Eating up nerve endings and then taking notes at funerals
"Fuck your cost, look we just filled the whole damn room"
Anything can be an altar yeah, anyone can be a preacher
All you need's the will to sell and a voice of gold
The only real message is 'free yourself' just don't forget you promised
You would find your soul is getting old
Well it's meant for me
It's not meant for you
It's meant for me
It's not meant for you
All these Jackals & Hyenas been running my world now for eons
Might be time to put them down for a life or two
I think I'm gonna go bathing in the constellation fountain at midnight
And when I'm back we'll see if their voices still cut through
Hey man now don't you think if we could focus
We could fashion the future some spectacles?
Not these blinders that they've plucked from their dead horse
They say they want to make an equation
But they don't want to work with the numbers
And I've cut loose, already swimming my life to shore
Cuz it's meant...
It's not meant...
It's meant for me
It's not meant for you
Laughing in their circles in the sun
Reflected in the pupils of a million bountiful cadavers
Somehow dancing, dancing, dancing til the dawn
The puppet strings are like cocaine, baby, and thank the lord for that
The heart & soul have been so dead for oh so long
How else you supposed to move with internal combustion?
The rest of us so harmoniously wrong
Singing
It's meant for me
It's not meant for you
It's meant for me
It's not meant for you
All these Prophets & Disciples of some un-spiritual religion
Talking mash and soup to feed by spoon
Eating up nerve endings and then taking notes at funerals
"Fuck your cost, look we just filled the whole damn room"
Anything can be an altar yeah, anyone can be a preacher
All you need's the will to sell and a voice of gold
The only real message is 'free yourself' just don't forget you promised
You would find your soul is getting old
Well it's meant for me
It's not meant for you
It's meant for me
It's not meant for you
All these Jackals & Hyenas been running my world now for eons
Might be time to put them down for a life or two
I think I'm gonna go bathing in the constellation fountain at midnight
And when I'm back we'll see if their voices still cut through
Hey man now don't you think if we could focus

Not these blinders that they've plucked from their dead horse
They say they want to make an equation
But they don't want to work with the numbers
And I've cut loose, already swimming my life to shore
Cuz it's meant...
It's not meant...
It's meant for me
It's not meant for you
