about

A response to a notable event of 2001 -- I'll let you guess which one. But also more generally epochal as a reflection on the state of war-at-peace (or vice-versa) in which we've been living since some point in the 1940s.

lyrics

In September's sun, everything's been done and everything's the same. In the pissing rain, you can wait all day, beside a window, for the day to go away. The sound of cars, the fear of bombs, it's enough to keep you in between the pillows sinking.
I stayed in bed till everything was read and nothing had been said on the television screen. I'll watch the plants grow -- wandering Jew, oregano -- as the bodies pile up and the cold winds blow.
There's a smell of death, a lingering unease, here in the kingdom, under a covenant of greed. We can make believe that we're underground, we can look within and talk about what we've found -- how we are not moved, as the bodies pile up in mounds.
