this technicolor dream

technicolor dream existence too often seems theater with no true theme a perverse director's scheme false purpose in the bloodstream all seems so real until first layer is peeled winding maze reveals the infirm not always healed our image must be our shield gods who do not speak religion as warring cliques donations they seek truth playing at hide-and-seek churches soon become boutiques all an alliance to ensure our compliance forget defiance most opt for self-reliance or the workings of science no change too extreme to please heads of the regime take one for the team life always will flow downstream in this technicolor dream
