Smiled upon a stranger in the blue marble basement
Her words were out of time and her eyes were all vacant
From the static reception, the latest mutation
Of the old escalating consumption of hatred
Said my people got no name and we don't have a nation
We know our place is waiting on your mind's liberation
There's a glitch in the system of conventional wisdom

Shelter from the rain
Something for the hunger
And something for the pain
Walls for the wind
Shelter from the rain
Something for the hunger
And something for the pain

They didn't need the workers, they had full automation
Technological vision, our subliminal prison
'Till we make our decision, to get up and build them
Walls for the wind
Shelter from the rain
Something for the hunger
And something for the pain
Walls for the wind
Shelter from the rain
Something for the hunger
And something for the pain

Walls for the wind
Shelter from the rain
Something for the hunger
And something for the pain
Walls for the wind
Shelter from the rain
Something for the hunger
And something for the pain
Walls for the wind
Shelter from the rain
Something for the hunger
And something for the pain
Walls for the wind
Shelter from the rain
Something for the hunger
And something for the pain
Something for the pain
Something for the pain
Something for the pain
