Renaissance City

We reach the city, Caroline and I - everything I thought was true was a lie
Apathetic creatures shuffle about with nothing to believe and nothing to doubt
How did we fail to notice our role as evil overlords, irredeemable trolls
Far above this unheavenly mess, where human morality has failed the test

You won't feel a thing in Renaissance City
And you won't mind at all in Renaissance City

We listen as Helpers read from a script, urging their flocks to give up the ship
Just lower your expectations, they say, and happiness happens at least once a day
Meanwhile, armored security Jacks are beating up Psyches who preach a new path
Zip-tied vagrants assemble in rows, marching in step to parts unknown

You won't feel a thing in Renaissance City
And you won't mind at all in Renaissance City

Somehow, she finds us, my long-lost aunt, with knotted hair and tattered pants
Caroline wants to go home I can tell - her sensitive nose can't stand the smell
We reach the hideout without being seen and Jet introduces her motley team
They surround a dog-eared book of prose, their bodies frozen in a reverent pose

You won't feel a thing in Renaissance City
And you won't mind at all in Renaissance City

Renaissance City, Renaissance City
