Lois Lane

from Damaged in Transit by Phileas

lyrics

Behind the macho man
Behind the lunatic
There’s a heartbeat
Making him tick
He likes to think he’s got existence
Under control
But it’s you throwing the switch
That sends the current to the detonator
But everyone will pass the buck
When it all goes wrong much later
It’s not high ideals
Putting children in their graves
It’s not democracy and freedom
Driving that crusade
It’s the gated community
And sherry bu the fire
Smiles at the golf club
It’s your way of life
That keeps you
One step from your nightmare
And the wolves from the door
Padding your cocoon
Far from bloodshed and war
It’s not only his creations
By which we know his name
It’s your love, Lois Lane
Behind the curtains
At the kitchen sink
Deserving more
Than you let yourself think
These action heroes
May be calling the shots
But it’s you holding things together
And sending current
To the detonator
But everyone will pass the buck
When it all goes wrong much later
It’s not high ideals……
Why the compromise?
Why the blind eye?
What kind of creature are you?
