Lyrics
The wick of the candle
Is almost burnt up
So they brought an electric lamp
But now the flickering has stopped
It didn't fool us
So they made a bulb that flickers too
It looks the same on the surface
But we can tell it's not the light we knew
Now the fire's extinguished
It's only electricity
Easy to turn off with a switch
But they keep the switch out of reach
A flame is unpredictable
While a lamp can be controlled
We were so excited for the next big thing
We didn't think about what we sold
They make it easy to escape
With things to watch and drugs to take
Look away, look away
They try to occupy our brains
So they can keep us all restrained
Look away, look away, look away
Water runs through the embers
Glowing stones go up in smoke
It looks like the heat is gone
Because the coals are now all soaked
They left it to die
After some time had come to pass
They went inside and turned off their lights
But under a layer of ash
There is still a little bit of heat
There is still a little bit of light
We are not entirely beat
We are still struggling to survive
And when they finally knock over the candle
We will make this whole house ignite
Because this fire's not going out
Not without a fight
They make it easy to escape
With things to watch and drugs to take
Look away, look away
They try to occupy our brains
So they can keep us all restrained
Look away, look away, look away
