Behind The Lines — текст песни (Genesis)

It`s the last great adventure left to mankind
- Screams a drooping lady
Offering her dreamdolls at less that extortionate prices
And as the notes and coins are taken out
I`m taken in, to the factory floor

For the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
- All ready to use
The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
- I just need a fuse

Got people stocked in every shade
You must be doing well with trade
Stamped, addressed, in odd fatality
That evens out their personality
With profit potential marked by a sign
I can recognize some of the production line
No bite at all in labour bondage
Just wrinkled wrappers on human bandage

Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
- All ready to use
It`s the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
- I just need a fuse

The hall runs like clockwork
Their hands mark out the time
Empty in their fullness
Like frozen pantomime
Everyone`s sales representative
Wearing slogans in their shrine
Dishing out fail-safe superlative
Brother John is No. 9

The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
- All ready to use
It`s the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
- I just need a fuse

And the decor on the ceiling
Planned out their future day
I see no sign of freewill
So I guess I have to pay
Pay my way
For the Grand Parade
Grand Parade
Oh, the Grand Parade
Yes, the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
- All ready to use
The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
- Just need a fuse
Grand Parade
Grand Parade ...
