Modern Spectres

Living in the dawning of a century that has long been praised

Scary news on the telly everyday

it looks more like hell´s been raised

Plague and poverty, a dead economy

and the menace of a sick minority

Novel holocaust on a microchip

and there´s more of that to hit you like a pistol grip

Tomorrow´s now but where do we go

where does it end I wanna know...

[Chorus:]

Hour zero´s come, who´s gonna protect us?

Everywhere you go you find the new spectres

In the city streets and out in all sectors

Face them now - here´s our MODERN SPECTRES

I don´t trust a penny in the world today, this tunnel without light

It´s going down the drain, that´s how it appears to me

the country´s low has no end in sight

Jobs are hard to get, unions seeing red

while the taxes rise that some are getting fed

Don´t you feel the rage and a strong desire

to put them up against a wall,

load, lock and fire...

Tomorrow´s now but what have we got

(... nobody´s safe here anymore)

in this land of flowing tears and blood

(... where all hopes are running dry)
