Papers full of terror, TV shows us pain
Images of horror again and again
No news but bad news
It's a never-ending story of a world gone wrong
Nothing to sing about when you're living in the dark too long
Governments making policies that do not serve
Restrictions on the people they don't deserve
Lies and double standards
For ten rules made for us for them there's none
Flagrant hypocrisy when you're living in the dark too long
Families pass on power to their flesh and blood
Not a scrap to throw out for the common good
Empires building empires
Greed and ambition it's the same old song
It's just the way it is when you're living in the dark too long
Big corporations consuming all
Holding the small guy against the wall
Lawyers bought and paid for
They'll put you in the poor house where you belong
Money buys out the law when you're living in the dark too long
Communication is a dirty word
Independent thinkers must not be heard
Censored and de-platformed
A visit from the thought-police for your crimes to come
Talking can be bad for you when you're living in the dark too long
Nazis with a needle, fascists with a pill
Only one purpose and that's to make you ill
Sickness is big business
A patient cured they say is a customer gone
Better pray for your health when you're living in the dark too long
No room for justice, no place for truth
The dial of corruption's gone through the roof
Backroom nods and handshakes
Crooked negotiations and deals done
What more can you expect when you're living in the dark too long
Institutions falling, age old systems fail
They'll scramble to reconstitute but to no avail
The karmic wheel is turning full circle. Bring it on
People have had enough of living in the dark too long
