The Air Of Ambition Lyrics

Life is a temporary arrangement
no point to ask what could have been
the past you change now is just one of many
tuck your pants in, we'll be walking through blood

your blood

blood - the air of ambition

may all your yesterdays be filled with sun
and fragile visions of benevolence
cause clouds will dance and children sing the jingles
a man fell into a vat and turned to lard

crawl from the sea with the air of ambition
destroy all the forests and poison the well
light imagery to deflect the attention
mirages of soap and gold, whistles and bells
and the war machine leads the path for the righteous
subtle propaganda far beyond Orwell
but you can't tell sheep all about the wool factory
they never would have believed it anyhow
