lyrics

Their hair was long past their shoulders
And they were dancing in the mud and the rain
They were swimming in their victory flush
That they started washing down the drain

They were deaf in poetic ecstasy of love
Holding hands and singing We Shall Overcome
But now they’re doing lines on an old McDonald’s bag
With Jack and quaaludes to keep them numb

That’s what happens
When you leave Orchid Children out
They crumble into dust
That’s what happens
Just a pawn to the elite
It happened to them, it could happen to us

Their story’s clichéd, it's boring
They heeded their commercial vices
Just for an easy shot of dopamine
And the rising cost of cutting prices

Although they once were caring people, tried to change their worlds
They were swallowed up and chewed right out again
Continued in that cycle and then jumped off the bridge
Just for a footnote and a flash on CNN

That’s what happens
When you leave Orchid Children out
They crumble into dust
That’s what happens
Just a pawn to the elite
It happened to them, it could happen to us

That’s what happens
When you leave Orchid Children out
They crumble into dust
That’s what happens
Just a pawn to the elite
It happened to them, it could happen to us
