To The Wire - Desperate Times Lyrics

I'm afraid there will never be peace
Raised in hell like a spreading disease

We all know who's the first casualty
Will I have the strength?
There's no subtlety

I'll remember - desperate times
Remember - don't lose your mind
Remember - desperate times

Deception or lies let you reap
It keeps people awake until one can sleep
I won't argue cause behind that façade
I can't tell if you're honest of if you are fake

I'll remember - desperate times
Remember - don't lose your mind
Remember - desperate times

The world is suffering
Two jobs won't pay the rent
The poor still feed the rich
No trust in politics

Vivid depiction in my head of an
Empire in the face of pain and power abuse
There is hope in places, not much else to be found
It gets drowned

I'll remember
I'll remember
I'll remember
I'll remember
