Текст песни: Modern Day Gods + перевод

Clowns in fine suits, neither shrewd nor astute, expressing faux dissatisfaction

They don’t shoot blanks, they shoot flags that say bang; it’s all trickery — no

actual action

Drawn to the spotlight like bears to a beehive

They’ll gladly be stung for some of the honey inside

In the blink of an eye, the ink is all dry

And the history’s now undeniable

A suit and a tie are no armour from ire

Still human, still fickle, still fallible

These modern day gods, they’ll smile and they’ll nod

But the cogs will rarely be turning

A roll of the dice deciding a life

But it’s fine, ‘cause it’s not there house burning down

The wordplay betrays a slapstick display where panic replaces the pratfall

Somebody’s puppets are our puppeteers, it’s been that way since time immemorial

Drawn to the spotlight like bears to a beehive

They’ll gladly be stung for that, mmm, sweet, sweet honey inside

Down it goes

Your hopes and your home up in smoke

As they laugh and they jape, ‘cause they can’t see the flames from their thrones
