               Modern Day Cathedral from Rufus Coates & Jess Smith New Album 'Not For The Gallery' A song that encapsulates the theme of modern consumerism, our self destruction as a species and our hope that prevails through it all. [Never play to the gallery.... Never work for other people in what you do. Always remember that the reason that you initially started working was that there was something inside yourself that you felt that if you could manifest in some way, you would understand more about yourself and how you co-exist with the rest of society.... David Bowie] Text of the song: Modern Day Cathedrals Built for consumerists greed Bright lights, ornate interiors Entice us. People unfulfilled unless their abundance of Paper bags are bulging with trinkets Or offerings to new gods Only god knows. We gather in masses Pay penance to New age symbols Bombarding our senses Fine art is now new shoes Escalators and fake plastic domed roofs Water fountains spouting conversation That no-one needs to hear Is this how life is for now Is this how we choose to live Is this what we take to be normal If so won’t the gods please forgive us
