It's a case of what is right and what is done
Causing riots in our heads for years to come
And if the worst won't leave us undisturbed
For the call for what is fair is never heard
And the mornings don't make it much past noon
And the evenings darken way too soon
It's a case of who's your friend and who you know
Given weapons primed to fire the cannons blow
Although the suffering won't leave us undeterred
For the cause of what is fair is never heard
And yesterday lasted for a thousand years
And tomorrow is made for yet more tears
And the mornings don't make it much past noon
And the evenings darken way too soon
