There's a place for you in this mountain of crates Get in the box or be crushed by the weight Of everyone else, in rows on a shelf In order by name, feed your remains To the next generation of god fearing men Blessed by a coin, born to defend Without you nothing's missing, in this cold solar system Thank the distraction of today You have the years to listen Its voice will take you in Thank the distraction of today There's a place indeed, on an island for me Far off the coast, through an ocean of greed I'm building an arc that glows in the dark To carry my soul through the night The right to be right, and you're taking too long Get in the box and we'll get along Without you nothing's missing, in this cold solar system Thank the distraction of today You have the years to listen Its voice will take you in Thank the distraction of today There's a place for me, without you Without you Without you Without you
