Song | Defusing the Popular Struggle |
Artist | Good Riddance |
Album | Symptoms Of A Leveling Spirit |
作曲 : Rankin | |
Once lost we will never find our way | |
Shutting down we抮e devoid of things to say | |
Prospects are growing worse with every hour | |
With no voice it seems we抳e got no power | |
Overcome by headlines | |
We believe what isn抰 true | |
You抳e got no empathy for anyone but you | |
Our moral contradictions | |
And subjective, hollow tomes | |
Perpetuate the fear asphyxiating us at home so | |
Seems like there抯 no place left to hide | |
From the cold, amorphous dread | |
That we all feel inside | |
Actions might dictate who survives | |
The hopelessness which punctuates | |
Our empty lives | |
Could there be something | |
I need a reason | |
Could there be anything at all | |
Systems of technology which once kept us | |
Informed | |
Now endeavor to perpetuate the norm | |
Privatization of concentrated wealth | |
While millions still suffer | |
In dilapidated health so | |
Who cares to calculate | |
What indigence will cost | |
How will we replicated urbanity that抯 lost | |
The curtain falls on the ultimate disgrace | |
We hunger for equality | |
Though we抳e never had a taste | |
The irony will make you laugh | |
Intervene on our behalf | |
To undo this mask of false complicity | |
The despotic, right-wing government | |
Has manufactured our consent | |
Can we entrust ourselves | |
To transform their doctrine to dissent |
