Gov't Mule - Like Flies Lyrics

We're at a place in history
Where the bar is at an all time low
We've applauded mediocrity
'Til there is no lower we can go

Art has no place
In this world of supersize
Follow the leader to the latest pile of shit
Like flies, like flies

And those who peddle it
Sold their own souls long ago
They would not know the difference
Between Vin Diesel and Van Gogh

They stare at me with envy
With their big green bugging eyes
Spreading filth, buzzing all around my head
Like flies, like flies
Like flies, like flies

Feast or famine, peace or war
Life will get you in the end
Sex, drugs, powerlines and vaccinations
Something's going to do you in

There ain't no way of stopping death
When it's time for your demise
All my heroes and friends are dropping
Like flies, like flies
Like flies, like flies, like flies
