T.O.M.A.M. - Cobalt 60

Seeded by chance on a fertile ground

We were born too soon and grew up too fast

And the garden was lush when we came to light

Nettles in the grass

Tares among the wheat

We were tough and fierce and we loved the rain as much as the drought

The other monsters and me

Looking so cute and so twee and as light as light could be

The other monsters and me

We hadn’t any idea of what the future would be

And we loved to stare at the tortured skies

Our hearts were hard and so tough and proud enough to lie

We had no remorse and we had no hope

And we seldom made friends

Often shunned the few ones we had

Then we died one by one without any regret

Everything was said and done when we saw our sun set

Changing unfair unstable often cruel and wrongheaded

Passing from A to B morphing from this to that

Our «this» had no face

Our «that» had no name

The other monsters and me

Kings of inconsistency and as light as light could be

The other monsters and me

We hadn’t any idea of what the future would be

Of wourse we these days wouldn’t last we had to live fast

And we often heard our elders talk about a forthcoming heaven on earth

And we hated their life in a fool’s paradise

Then we died one by one without any regret

And we knew what it meant but would never repent

The other monsters and me
