lyrics

Live to serve and sever your worth
It’s a hard city to love

Live to serve and sever your worth
It’s a hard city to love

Pray to the neon cross
Pray to the LED order

Prey on the weak
Prey on the lost
It’s a hard city trying to keep what’s yours

Prey on the weak
Prey on the lost
It’s a hard city trying to keep what’s yours

Dollars and days
Spent in a haze
There’s no escape

Dollars and days
Spent in a haze
There’s no escape
It’s a hard city to love

Pray to the neon cross
Pray to the LED order

Prey on the weak
Prey on the lost
It’s a hard city trying to keep what’s yours

Prey on the weak
Prey on the lost
It’s a hard city trying to keep what’s yours

Below plutonium clouds
19 hundred 19 feet above the sea
Chattering TV screens
Blinding society

Trade your old tired soul
For that 24 karat glow
Let the capital ‘T’ envelope you

Let the screen take hold
Let the screen take hold

And fear the rain
The acid rain
Taste of the grave
The neon grave
Fear the rain
The acid rain
Look away
Look away

Shadows outlined
Glowing inside
Bright from the heart
No distance apart

Beat of the devil
Black from the start

Cling to the aura
Escaping your soul
Overlord whore
Emblazoned in gold

Atop neon skyscrapers
Burned down into stone

Screw their land
Shut up and learn something
In this surveillance state
Blood isn’t immortal

Everything has a record
Every wince, nod, and grin

The screen can read your mind
One flash, and it’s in
Look up to the screen
Smile in the sun

Omnipotent one
United screens as one

Neon order has begun
Neon order has begun
Neon order has begun
Neon order has begun

Dream soul will wander
Harness your dreams
Keep the light close
By closing your mind

Preserve your worth
Discard mother Earth

Unplug yourself from the circuitry

Awaken yourself from this lucid dream
Remove your chains and open your mind

Or our Earth will surely die
If we can’t question the lies

The neon web of lies
The neon web of lies
The neon web of lies
The neon web of lies

about

Candy Warpop Las Vegas, Nevada

Candy Warpop is a nihilistic storm of art punk and dark psychedelia. Incubated under the debauched neon of Las Vegas, this audacious trio is unrestrained by conventional musical standards.
