in my Creative Arts class here, i have been charged with an assignment to take a modern day song, and relate lyrics to the 1920's-1930's(Great depression, FDR, Boot Legging, Organized Crime, Prohibition). i've sorted through a multitude of songs, and found this to work out seemingly well, but i am drawing blanks on some of the lyrics. i was wondering if anyone could help me out. the * mark lines i'm having trouble with.
Sybreed- Nomenklatura
It's all around
A solid wall of lies*
Designed on massive scales*
Still, we endure and tolerate*
Because we know we cannot stop the fall
Because we know it's getting worst day after day
Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within
We are destined
To be expendable products
To emulate cheap happiness
Like zealots, we imitate
We do our part
Secluded in vain deceptions*
But soon glory fades*
And there is nothing left but suffering*
Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within
Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within
Our god is dead*
Since we have been proclaimed divine*
We have become but empty shells
No faith could feed or sustain us
We drift from place to place
Sunken in miserable dreams
We feel no love, we feel no hate
Then face the heart of destruction
Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within
Look at the world
We've got nothing to preserve
In this hollow life
We are broken deep within
