“People don’t understand,” | |
that is what you say to yourselves | |
as you nibble away | |
at our rights, our freedoms, | |
spending far too long in the dark | |
all alone | |
with your mandate for power, | |
for ruling, such as it is. | |
It’s enough for ruin. | |
All we have is unreal. | |
Nothing so unwritten is safe | |
insecurity and power | |
is a force to be feared. | |
Seems it’s an impossible thing | |
to be open | |
and cover your backs | |
from those who put you there | |
in the place that is your home. | |
To scorn our deepest fears | |
and take it on themselves | |
to take it all and do it in our names. | |
This land is so afraid. | |
For in the fading light | |
this land, in time may fall. | |
Plant some reality here. | |
here into the front of my home | |
if they take you apart | |
have to fight for yourselves. | |
Funny how it’s always the same | |
it don’t matter who’s holding | |
the key to the garden. | |
The limit of my understanding is reached. | |
Ten years on from the day they broke down the line, | |
red man Arthur was proved right all along. | |
Loose your big train of thought | |
take it to a wall with some writing: | |
“question authority” | |
and then it says “why?” | |
What we have to say to ourselves | |
as we marvel at all of the facts | |
and the figures at the fingertips | |
of the men in power. |
" People don' t understand," | |
that is what you say to yourselves | |
as you nibble away | |
at our rights, our freedoms, | |
spending far too long in the dark | |
all alone | |
with your mandate for power, | |
for ruling, such as it is. | |
It' s enough for ruin. | |
All we have is unreal. | |
Nothing so unwritten is safe | |
insecurity and power | |
is a force to be feared. | |
Seems it' s an impossible thing | |
to be open | |
and cover your backs | |
