Barry Feldman - Slow Motion Stampede Lyrics
Slow motion stampedeSquint your mind and you can seeBodies bolt rear and whirl, turn their backs and flyTrample the weaker ones on their way that the mightiest might surviveAnd there’s a herd of human beingsIn a slow motion stampedeOur heroes and our leaders steal away with all they canRight down to the street children this becomes the law of the landAll we really believe in is the evil of manNo one has the faith to lead or invest in a planNo one wants to be left behind to do what’s rightTo teach or heal costs too many troops so follow in the frightSlow motion stampede, Squint your mind and you can seeBodies bolt rear and whirl, turn their backs and flyTrample the weaker ones on their way that the mightiest might surviveAnd there’s a herd of human beings In the slow motion stampedeVultures hover, parasites cling in complicityHide the spoils hoard the food, snuff the whistle blowersQuaking in our armor we can pretend we don’t seeOnly smell the battles where we’ve bet all our moneyWe leave our own wounded in the dust, to heal costs too much timeBut if you don’t tend to your wounds, the whole body will surely dieOh stop the slow motion stampede, Squint your mind and you can seeBodies bolt rear and whirl, turn their backs and flyTrample the humble on their way that the ruthless should surviveNo one wants to be left behind to do what’s rightSo we silently shut our hearts and minds and follow in the frightAnd there’s a herd of human beings in the slow motion stampedeIs it you, Is it me - in the slow motion stampedeWith all our soaring progress and high mentalityJust what kind of creatures are we finallyOh stop the slow motion stampede, there is a slow motion stampedeTrample me I won't make sound, trample me I won't make a soundTrample me I won't make sound, trample me I won't make a sound
