The Writing's on the Wall

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

So you say if I don't vote then it shows I do not care

To that I ask if you believe democracy is fair

Could I win the next election with my morals still in tact

Or is the way we rise above to scratch the devils back

You tell me that I'm jaded and a rebel with no cause

Well since I lack direction please enlighten me with yours

Political agenda has been twisted just to serve

Those who claim entitlement for all they don't deserve

Have we lost control?

This is our hope, this is our fate

This is our fight for a better day

We tried to run you made us crawl, til now

This is our war, this is our hell

Just another notch on our prison cell

We tried to run you made us crawl

The writing's on the wall

So you started out with good intent your morals set in stone

But quickly realised you'd never make it on your own

It couldn't hurt to take a bribe when reasons are so pure

But corruption is an illness one for which there is no cure

So yes I give a fuck about political disease

And no I will not cast my vote to put your mind at ease

Perhaps if everybody wasn't forced upon their knees

Then we'd tell you to go fuck yourself with your democracy

This is our hope, this is our fate

This is our fight for a better day

We tried to run you made us crawl, til now

This is our war, this is our hell

Just another notch on our prison cell

We tried to run you made us crawl

The writing's on the wall

Conform, consript, comply

Never be afraid to ask why

Submit, subserve

Is this all we deserve?

This is our hope, this is our fate

This is our fight for a better day

We tried to run you made us crawl, til now

This is our war, this is our hell

Just another notch on our prison cell

We tried to run you made us crawl

The writing's on the wall

Well the writings on the wall

The writing's on the wal
