ORNAmuseMENT: Music
Running on Empty
(Ornamusement)
Musings of a life
Where I am defined
Should I spill my blood
And give it to the sun
Goodness knows that fireball
Doesn't need more heat at all
Maybe I'll keep some for me
Cause I'm running on empty
Running on
Overkill a generation
So overfed and sedentary
While parasites feed on the nation
And lead us to disparity
Someone call an artist please
Philosophers get off your knees
Cause you don't need God
To know we're running on empty
Are we really running at all
Running on empty
Waiting for the fall
Running on Empty
Running on
The foundation of this nation
Is cracked so far down
That we will fall as we stand
On hallowed ground
We're bound to defend
What our mothers & fathers found
Not this whole mixed bag of tricks
It makes me sick what's going down
In this country right now
Running on empty
Are we really running at all
Running on empty
Waiting for the fall
Denial and neglect
May seem tempting
But keep your eyes on the prize
And don't believe the lies
Don't be distracted by disguises
For if you are don't be surprised
It's written in the skies
It's in everybody's eyes
And it's time to realize
We're running on empty
Are we really running at all
Running on empty
Waiting for the fall
