The car is on fire and there’s no one at the wheel
And no one tries to put on the brakes at all
We’re trapped in the belly of this sick machine
The radiator smoking, there’s no air to breathe
And no one tries to put on the brakes at all

One by one like stars from the sky they fell
And everyone turned their backs, wondering to themselves
I’m on a strange journey I didn’t choose to take
Where I’m going I don’t want to think
But no one tried to put on the brakes at all

Your final breath will be an eastern wind
To blow through the valley of death that we’ve carved in this land
We’re accomplices all
It’s all beyond our control
So innocent when the hammer falls
And nobody tries
Nobody tries
No one even fucking tries!
Accelerating through industrial haze
Past the death camps and the marketplace we’ve lost our way
I hope we burn up in the wreckage
Rather than live another day
In vain in a world without frontiers
We’re served our just desserts:
Just deserts, in burning thirst
And no one tries to put out the flames at all.
