Текст пісні
There came a Boom from a darkened room
Light reflecting on the silver spoons of the chosen, within the explosion
They were fed upon the fatted calf
Not a pebble ever placed in their path to impede them
But no one could lead them
Sound and fury finish, as the Boom diminishes
They pledged allegiance and they said their prayers
They hid from missiles under tables and chairs in the classroom
Pinned moths in a glass tomb
And leaders came proclaiming justice and peace
Assassinations made their voices cease
Just a lesson, the price of dissension
Sound and fury finish, as the Boom diminishes
What the hell did you think they would do?
You set 'em up, then you turned them loose on creation, your civilization
They thought their music and their two-fingered sign
Would change the world in just a moment of time, but deflated
They became what they hated
Now they're all just doing their best
Playing for whatever time will be left of existence
Just part of the system
Sound and fury finish, as the Boom diminishes
Diminution holds sway, as the Boom fades away
