Propelled by events from pillar to post
A reasoned retort to their loyal toast
Enlightenment please, don't give up the ghost
But drop dead destiny
A bellicose voice untroubled by charm
An orangutan still waving its arms
I've heard more sense come out of a farm
Drop dead destiny
You're a washed up illusion
Still making fools of us all
Now I take one step then another
Now I'm deaf to your call
When you have finally departed
I'll sing a song at your wake
One of my own compositions
A hymn to all that is fake
Prepare by events from pillar to post
A reasoned retort to the loyal toast
Enlightenment please, don't give up the ghost
But drop dead destiny, drop dead destiny
