An Idea Whose Time Is Done
Maybe it’s for certain, this attempt at honesty
The latest case scenario is retrospectively amusing
I don’t understand you, but I believe you
til I hear it again,. and again and again….
Line after line is lie after lie,
Lie until the facts say otherwise
Disguised behind a Sunday smile
and all the while orchestrated ignorance
does the dance doomed to dust..
I pledge a grievance to the bad
Don’t turn your back on what you might have had
Strangled stories we’ve all been told
twisted pasts have started to unroll
and now we know it’s all controlled glory..
an idea whose time is done
There were times in my life where i couldn’t tell the truth
From the stories flying round with very little proof
They speak of things great for us all
Who ever us is
get ready for a fall
Different ways of saying the same thing
that we're willing victims of circumstance.
it’s the stank and vile words from the rank and file absurds
Hold on Get ready for the fall
I pledge a grievance to the bad
Don’t turn your back on what you might have had
Strangled stories we’ve all been told
twisted pasts have started to unroll
and now we know it’s all controlled glory
an idea whose time is done
Strangled stories, twisted paths..
Redefine glory, never hold it back
Re find glory, never going back
Fear leading action…
Money from nothing…
Fighting in the name of god…
Permitted speech zones
Illicit complicity
shock and awe
Accept it for what it is...
Except that
The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy..
So don't befriend me with that shit you're trying to feed me
Selling the tale to lift up the heads of the needy
But the cream rises up to the mouth of the greedy
I pledge a grievance to the bad
Don’t turn your back on what you might have had
Strangled stories we’ve all been told
twisted pasts have started to unroll
and now we know it’s all controlled glory
an idea whose time is done
