Defusing the Popular Struggle |
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 |
