Part 1:
In a world where up is down they tell you not to do it but then they do it themselves.
We’ve had enough of this hypocrisy and they say that its democracy.
But I’d say that its just a pipe dream.
A nice bedtime story they use to tuck you to sleep.
So snuggle up with the lies while atrocities creep through the night...
Its do as I say and not as I do...
Deserters get shot in the head and dissenters do too...
Or go along with it and you might just live to see old age...
Time to give your approval and your ok.
They’ll see all liberties removed with no foul play...
Some say its better to be alive then to be free...
And then I’d say its not for me we gotta fight for both...
Part 2:
There's no hope hiding in the shadows if we cant be free.
It's worth the risk of a trip to the gallows to achieve...
Making moves on the low so who's with me?
And the scientists are afraid to speculate how the world came to be this way...
It’s a puzzle with a few missing pieces...
Isn’t it funny how they put the truth on display seen by the eyes of people too stupid to believe it.
I firmly disagree with the diagnosis that the problems we face are hopeless...
No telling which direction we will take while all possibilities remain open.
Author's Notes
This is a song I wrote a few years back for a small solo project. I'd very much like to know your thoughts and feelings about this verse so if you liked it or didn't like it, I'd love to hear your opinion either way!
