Change
I believed the best ideas should win
The best people should be ruling
But they don’t want changeI listen to them, I try to talk to them
But it’s only lies or jokes from them
Cos they don’t want changeThey distract with Nationalism
They abuse with Patriotism
‘Cos they don’t want changeThey multiply culture wars
To divide into different parts
For subtraction & distraction
Cos they don’t want changeFree assembly suppression
Free speech oppression
Slogans with lies
And speeches with noise
They don’t want changeThey hide their power
Add money by the hour
Hold statues of wealth
Above equality & health
They don’t want changeGotta fight power
Gotta take power
Gotta win power
This world must change
Breaking Glass
It’s the sound you hear
That of crashing glass
From your broken bubble
Will this too now pass?The cold winds of change
The harsh winds of hate
Now threaten your world view
And threaten your fateWith ugly, ignorant intensity
Empty vessels make much sound
Many float on hot, false hopes
I stay lonely on the ground
Blind Faith
I speak those shallow empty words
Filled with so many lies, I sound absurd
But I accept no responsibility
I use insults and I use attacks as news
As clickbait in social media that I use
I pollute everything with incivilityI’ve undermined what experts say
The rule of law is now my prey
I’m your prophet, listen only to me
I call it fake media and I call it fake news
Cos I wanna own your reality too
I’m your prophet, listen only to meHave faith, blind faith in me
Have trust, blind trust in me,
I wanna be your reality
Have faith, blind faith in meMy lies keep you divided and confused
I’ve hidden real problems with that ruse
I’m so full of ignorant intensity
I’ve defeated those with passionate conviction
Who used foolish truth instead of fiction
And I don’t care about inequalityHave faith, blind faith in me
Have trust, blind trust in me,
I wanna be your reality
Have faith, blind faith in me
Dark Summer Skies
Dark skies, foreboding
No summer sun or rain
I feel the wheel is turning
It’s time for change again
We don’t do it neat
But within the rules we agree
We make blind bets
On our future religiouslyComplex Truths, Simple Lies
We don’t want statistics
Have cake, eat cake
Let’s banish pessimists
Unicorns and Sunny uplands
If we take our country back
Let’s blame the Eu
For whatever we lackHave faith, our faith
We don’t need expert views
Stir emotion, stir fears
Must control all the news
Use Lies, Use untruths
Engage and stir the nation
Stir emotion, stir fears
Over sovereignty and immigrationAnd then the veil was ripped
By those who knew
And darkness seeped in
And darkness came through
In the noise you got sick
And you fell to the ground
Your pure heart stopped
And silence wrapped roundYou were the best of us,
You were the best of us
When your smile danced
You were the best of us,
You were the best of us
We were deeply enhancedGetup, standup
Gotta stand up for your rights
Evil shall happen while good people
Remain hidden and out of sight
The fragile light of the world
That we’ve built for so long
Needs people who serve right
To fight those who serve wrongI had a visceral feeling
The grief of a death or divorce
It was punch to the heart
It punched with so much force
It’s done for a generation
It’s a civil war without guns
But I know who they are
I know they are the onesElites wore new clothes
Demagogues with a new blend
They polluted the waters
But he’s no fisherman’s friend
Take back, bring back
Lies about democracy and control
They focussed on the 1%
And not the damage to the wholeIgnorance is a choice
Ignorance is a choice
We choose what we do
Ignorance is a choice
Ignorance is a choice
For me and for you
Our Spaces
We all want our space
Created within the human race
And so far as we can see
For us, the best way is democracy
Life is a compromise
But we developed a common view
That the needs of the many
Must outweigh the needs of the fewA multicultural society
Has many minorities
And a more fragmented common view
Because they must be included tooBut we all want our space
Created within the human race
And so far as we can see
For us, the best way is democracy
You want opportunity and to be free
And to choose who, the government will be
You want fairness and you want rights,
And justice to give, it all some biteAnd thus is created your space
And those of everyone
And the boundaries in the race
Agreed by you and everyoneSo we create our space
Within the human race
With responsibility
To others in our democracy
