Wolves at Bay |
| Why’d you do it |
| Went ahead when there’s no one to guide you through it |
| Like nothing to it, the present danger, you mighta knew it |
| Either way you’re walking right into it, like you’re invited to it |
| Was it worth it? |
| Trying to throw the tide back at the ocean like maybe you could divert it |
| But maybe it’s already certain? |
| And they’re saying that it’s a lost cause Jack, you should draw curtains |
| The sacrifice, that you offered up |
| Followed through and coughed it up, they want to knock you out |
| They want to lock you up, did you ever think twice? |
| Cause if it’s economic or not, everyone has their price |
| And the toll that it took, from rolling the dice |
| And dedicating your whole life to getting integrity right |
| From the bush to the bright lights, and the building sights |
| On the frontline gathering to fight |
| There was no hesitation, no thought of being brave |
| Just a certain elation, keeping the wolves at bay |
| Keeping the wolves at bay |
| Won’t let the light go out in me |
| Can’t let the light go out in me |
| Can’t let the light go out in me |
| Won’t let the light go out in me |
| Why’d you stick your neck out, enough to get it cut off |
| You could’ve gone under the radar and then caught the run-off |
| The lifestyle will rub off, the perks of the plum job |
| But then you never sold your people out for the pay of some boss |
| The young city that wants to be a metropolis |
| All of these apartments, skyscrapers, offices |
| Acquiring of properties, driving out the poverty |
| Askin was the premier and everywhere he’s pocketing |
| Nobody was stopping 'em, they never gave a second thought |
| To what they were demolishing, if they got fined |
| It wasn’t what the profit is, they say couldn’t stop progress |
| Money, power and politics and the cause seems hopeless |
| But if progress at any cost is this |
| When people are steamrolled and pushed out like they cease to exist |
| Well, what kind of process is this |
| It was time for the ground beneath to shift |
| Danger all around us |
| Time to stand up and be counted till we number in the thousands |
| Time to take back what’s ours from these cowards |
| Corrupted by their power in their ivory towers |
| So we making no allowance |
| For the greatness of the labour or the lateness of the hour |
| Time to take back what’s ours, never cower |
| In the belly of the beast where still the weak get devoured |
| But |
| There was no hesitation, no thought of being brave |
| Just a certain elation, keeping the wolves at bay |
| Keeping the wolves at bay |
| Won’t let the light go out in me |
| Can’t let the light go out in me |
| Can’t let the light go out in me |
| Won’t let the light go out in me |
| I’ve faced the menace, I’ve seen its teeth |
| Casting its shadow |
| Can’t let the light go out in me |
| Let the light, let the light in me |
| Won’t let the light go out in me |
| Let the light, let the light in me |
| Won’t let the light go out in me |
