vile perfumes fill the air
poison rains fall everywhere
welcome harsh reality
we've got ole Mother Nature down on her knees

don't live life by some false creed
just keep on walking and plant your seed
don't climb me or hesitate
be no casualty of spite or hate

flash on electric skies
make no apologies and tell no lies
is your soul for sale or just out on lease
remember even Mary Magdalene she found peace

you can't protest what you don't believe
can't be a dreamer if you can't conceive
dodging bullets and shooting stars
tell me, was heaven ever really in the cards

some king wore a thorny crown
while the revolution it was going down
can you kill two birds with one stone
while you sit upon your cesspool throne

flash on electric skies
make no apologies and tell no lies
is your soul for sale or just out on lease
remember even John Lennon he found peace

8 ball in the corner pocket
do you ride a lame horse or a silver rocket
welcome home my wayward child
those winds blow cold those winds blow wild

you raped the earth it's a burnin' heap
there'll be hell to pay and it's gonna be steep
I see a waste land where nothing can grow
brother you reap just what you sow

flash on electric skies
make no apologies and tell no lies
is your soul for sale or just out on lease
remember even Mary Magdalene she found peace
