Swallowed - Threshold

They’re spraying the crops on the farm today

You can watch the haze on the breeze

They say that it helps keep the bugs away

Not sure what it says about me

And it can all be swallowed

They say it’ll do you good

It can all be swallowed

But I don’t really know if I should

They’re spreading the word on the news today

You can watch the haze on the screen

Should we do what they do or do what they say?

‘Cos a river runs in between

And it can all be swallowed

They say it’ll do you good

It can all be swallowed

But I don’t really know if I should

Well, you answered the call on the telephone

And you followed the map they sent

And they took every one of your dollar bills

Like the lies that came and went

And they told you to stop reaching for the top

So you tumbled and fell to earth

No escape from the hands of those invisible bands

No return to what you’re worth

And they told you of rings and incredible things

And they told you that pigs could fly

But they don’t want their meat growing feelings or feet

So instead they just say goodbye

And the end, my friend’s, an impossible bend

That nobody knows how to steer

Well, you can get incensed, you can get revenge

But you gotta get out of here

They’re closing the door of the farm today
