Burning Sky [Live Jam]

How are things in your little world?

I hope they're going well, and you are too

Do you still see the same old crowd?

The ones who used to meet every Friday

I'm really sorry that I can't be there

But work comes first, I'm sure you'll understand

Things are really taking off for me

Business is thriving, and I'm showing a profit

And in any case it wouldn't be the same

'Cause we've all grown up, and we've got our lives

And the values that we had once upon a time

Seem stupid now, 'cause the rent must be paid

And some bonds severed, and others made

Now I don't want you to get me wrong

Ideals are fine when you are young

And I must admit we had a laugh

But that's all it was and ever will be

'Cause the burning sky keeps burning bright

And as long as it does (and it always will)

There's no time for dreams when commerce calls

And the taxman's shouting, 'cause he wants his dough

And the wheels of finance won't begin to slow

And it's only us realists who are gonna come through

'Cause there's only one power higher than that of truth

And that's the burning sky

Oh and by the way I must tell you

Before I sign off, that I've got a meeting next week

With the head of a big corporate

I can't disclose who, but I'm sure you'll know it

And the burning sky keeps burning bright

And it won't turn off till it's had enough

It's the greedy bastard who won't give up

And you're just a dreamer if you don't realize

And the sooner you do will be the better for you

Then we'll all be happy, and we'll all be wise

And all bow down to the burning sky

Then we'll all be happy, and we'll all be wise

And together we will live beneath the burning sky
