YOU MAKE ME SICK (Joey Molland)
[from The Pilgrim LP - recorded 1992 - released U.S. 1992]
[from The Pilgrim CD - recorded 1992 - released U.S. 1992]
You talk about the future like you've got a crystal ball
Well, speaking for myself, are you speaking for us all?
You talk about pollution, poverty and war
But you killed the revolution, and the heroes, one and all
You make me sick
You make me small
And you make me thick like a prison wall
And you look so slick, stand so tall
Like a Titan rocket on a launchpad
Waiting to destroy us all, destroy us all
You jump into the system (system) 'cos you think you can do good
And you make your contribution (contribution) to the newest Robin Hood
But Robin's only human (human) and the system never rests
It's digital confusion (confusion) and it doesn't stand the test
It makes me sick
It makes me small
And it makes me thick like a prison wall
And it's midi quick, it rules us all
Like a Titan rocket on a launchpad waiting to destroy us all
Destroy us all, destroys us all, destroy us all
[guitar solo]
What about the workers (workers) working on the D.O.L.E. (workers)
What about the shirkers (shirkers) digging us a hole (shirkers)
What about the climbers (climbers) safe within their myth (climbers)
Assume a full blown lotus, give yourself a kiss
You make me sick
You make me small
And you make me thick like a prison wall
And you look so slick, stand so tall
Like a Titan rocket on a launchpad
Waiting to destroy us all
[guitar solo]:
