♫It's Not Working Anymore♫

Here's a little travelogue through The Carnival of Debt, Death, and Destruction that travels from one place to another while The Midnight Flyer makes its living from your suffering and dying.

LYRICS=

All those little numbers and the great big numbers too

are a moneychanger scheme for the predatory few

an ancient shuck and jive of something real obscene

and designed to suck the life from The American Dream

and it’s not working anymore.

No... it’s not working anymore

It’s not working. It’s not working.

It’s not working anymore.

All the lies and deceptions

they’re not working anymore.

The Wailing Walls a prop... Sport

It’s from a Roman fort

Everything you do is

to make you look exclusive

Like those little beanie hats

that just makes you look stupid

and it’s not working anymore.

It’s just not working anymore

It’s not working. It’s not working.

It’s not working anymore.

No! It’s not working anymore and...

The Apocalypse is here

The light is coming through the shades

you pulled down on The World

The Awakening is rising

like The Sun upon the sky

all human eyes are opening

and you had better fly

cause it’s not working anymore.

It’s just not working anymore

It’s not working. It’s not working.

It’s not working anymore.

You tortured Nazi generals... when the war was over

You crushed their testicles and said that it was kosher

You’ve killed tens of millions. You must be so proud

Yeah, I’m the guy who’s telling you the quiet part out loud

It’s not working anymore

It’s not working anymore

It’s not working. It’s not working.

It’s not working anymore.

Everything you do is just one long-running scam

You’re the midnight flyer, Sport, and always on the lam

It’s a song and dance routine that never lasts for long

Soon as you can loot the place, it’s adios, and gone,

but... it’s not working anymore.

It’s just not working anymore

It’s not working. It’s not working.

It’s not working anymore.

No! It’s not working anymore

The Apocalypse is here

The light is coming through the shades

you pulled down on The World

The Awakening is rising

like The Sun upon the sky

all human eyes are opening

and you had better fly

cause it’s not working anymore.

It’s just not working anymore

It’s not working. It’s not working.

It’s not working anymore.

You tricked The World for centuries

but so many times you’d skate

You thought your mercantile God

was why Justice came too late

Well, I’ve got something to tell you

God’s keeping score

I hope you’re not surprised

when you arrive at Satan’s door

cause it’s not working anymore.

It’s just not working anymore

Hey!!! Sport! Listen up!!!

It’s not working

It’s not working anymore.

It’s not working

It’s not working

It’s not working… anymore
