A Design For Living:
Dead Can Dance

Dead Can Dance

Spleen And Ideal

A Design For Living:

In times of great vexation

when one must choose between what's right and wrong

freedom, so they say,

amounts to but the choices you have made!



Through all the arbitrary

rationale concerning liberty,

freedom, I must say,

exists within unconditioned minds!



Reason...

has come of age.



How can you be satisfied

with things the way they are

when all that surrounds us now

and so much more

remains inside

the keeper's dark embrace?



The insatiable


thirst for power has made

idols out of mortals

gods into clay

soldiers into heros

children into slaves!



All damned

desires

their hopes betrayed.



Who will suffer the laws,

that State can decide your

child's education,

unless you pay the price?



Refrain:



Who will suffer their laws?

Who will suffer their minds?

Who will suffer their words?

Who will suffer their designs?
