dark ages continue
everyone could have been wrong
had to be
a vote for hate
is a vote for spite
is a vote for greed of course
they’ve done it again
would rather give in
I vote for myself, don’t you?
see the world can be so much better
never enough to have dreamed
the horse is on course
once more
into the breach!
facelessly
so it must always be
it has been done
no one will know it was me
breathe in!
breathe it all out!
comrades!
somebody loses
when there’s a sausage
unless of course…
you see the how world can be
never enough to have dreamed it so
we’re raw
were once a commonwealth
looked out for you
looked out for me
let’s dig up some more for a buck
and burn a bit as well
we each burn more than anyone
but let’s not tell the truth
they have done it again
I blame John
he made the meanness
signature of sorts
and we will lock them up on an island
who come to us for hope
now how will we manage with the disease?
live the fullest lives?
just have to make the country ourselves
for a hobby, in spare time
friends, here’s how it was
yesterday, came out to cast their dark
the truth has
shall we say
it’s gone badly
at the national barbeque
burnt my sausage
would rather have smoke
than get the flame right
and here, another lump of coal?
knock down the poppies before they get tall
this is Evil Greed, our leader
note the dark cape, blue tie
one of the Inevitables
our sort of super hero
his the big nothing
that’s what we get
magician’s defiance!
and the blackguard
good for another go round
tears the dagger from his breast to dance
on the graves of the good and the great
who has the heart to go on?
who is heartless enough to abandon?
a vote for hate
is a vote for spite
is a vote for greed of course
shake it in the little box
what will it take to come to our senses?
dark ages continue
barbarians are ear to ear
with － can we call it pride?
once I grew so fat
on a promise
age of meanness
age of spite
thugs will always rule
no, I will never believe that!
go back to my quiet corner to hope
but they’ve done it again
ignored best advice
all done facelessly
so it must be
would rather have idiots running the place
would rather give in to lies
burn the sausage
I blame little Johnny
their deity － the toga boy
how dark will you make our hearts today?
how little can we care?
everyone was wrong about
just how far can you not-think?
well… further than we thought
here’s codger clinging
to his raft, hers
it’s secret
suddenly there’s ‘housie!’
no one’s touching mine
no youngster’s getting their own either
money in the bank!
the knife in the back
it’s faceless, how else?
we go back to the unthinkable
now let’s at it tooth and claw
we’re raw with it yet
the vote for hate
was a vote for spite
was a vote for greed of course
how are minds made up?
and what will it take?
and haven’t we been here before?
chroruses!
the action breaks in
truth for a looming threat
live the difference
is what we must
be the common wealth ourselves
they only wish to be left to their dinner
which is the rest of us of course
those who have no human voice
and hope to pass it on
you coming to your voices now
please will you witness what we are
throw up hands in disbelief
can’t help it
but that way how far do we get?
you need not be
what we’ve become
everyone could have been wrong
had to be
run out of cheeks to turn yet again
breathe in!
breathe it all out!
despite the governments
vox pops
baser instincts
played to, won
there’s so much better we can do
seas rise
we’re going down
don’t have to drown without a fight
but
be the change!
live the difference!
we must be the roar!
