The Day After
A Point of Protest

We are running blind Unintended outcome of our time Overstrung by the world outside Going all out Until it stops us from feeling From thinking, from questioning We are running blind There is something in these streets Something we cannot see Something behind those drawn curtains and closed doors There is something off with the current atmosphere Something has changed But not for the better I don't recognize these people Their faces hard and unreadable Working themselves to death for more debt All suffering the weight of the world And so we drink to drown out the noise Swallow pills not to fall apart Knowing we were lost from the start As we are all born to die But I cannot stand here and wait For what is to come Living head down Under your thumb While this place becomes A ruin Pity the living who do not really live Pity the rich who do not know true love I can't stand here and wait For what is to come And I can't stand that you take What was never yours Yours In the darkness all alone Sits the shadow king on his throne Made of broken hope, abandoned dreams and dangling ropes Mumbling desperately Pulling these strings While the people Crumble beneath his feet Keep them at each other's throat Weak and out of hope Submissive and scared Of what they don't know And if they resist If they speak up Crush their final hope Forever Until they remain silent Rather rot than riot They remain quiet They rather rot than Riot Because here is no hope Only dangling ropes And people in line To use them Is this what your democracy looks like? In the name of progress In a world with endless Possibilities? If this is your kind of change You better You better count me out If this is your kind of change You can You can count me out Count me out You better count me out Count me out You can count me out Count me out You better count me out Count me out
