Schopenhauer in Berlin Emperor X

Schopenhauer in Berlin
Watched the metropolis collapse to the village
It's a sign of the times that we're in
That we're thinking along the same line he did

So we climb to the top of the bridge
Where the white flag was raised in defiance
It's a truce. It's a loss. It's a win
It's a landslide

Will you pay for my flu shot?
I'm immune, but my heart's not, and I'm cold
Will we blink like the charge on a battery
Blinking out together? Open question

Schopenhauer on the Greyhound
Drinking Drano from an open container
Saw the wisdom in keeping his gaze fixed
At the phone lines

Then Schopenhauer spat his teeth out
In the hopes that was collectively kinder
On a night of drunken karaoke
And young tired eyes

When we dream we connect in communion
Our slurred words spoke we backwards the more
We sang "La la la, la la la la la, registration documents!"
Closed our eyes, and passed out on the floor
