Ring 5 - Middle Class
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.
Hard to believe he lets us wake up every day
Glory to He who keeps the alien away
'Cause we have been assigned to turn one and one to three
But God says: Keep away the blood of the refugee
So, most of us will come to see that we may never leave
But if we could
Believe us! Believe us! Oh, yeah, we got it so good
That we'll stay here with our heads right in the sand
Just like we should
We would love if it was better out there
And we would fix it if we only had the time
But the business begets a blindness
And the comforts enjoyed eclipse our eyeline
So when you are assigned to turn one and one to three
Do your job or go the way of the refugee
Like most of us, you'll come to see that we may never leave
But if we could
Believe us! Believe us! Oh, yeah, we got it so good
Whenever you need us, you've got us on the hook
Yeah, we'll stay here with our heads right in the sand
Just like we should
Yeah, we'll stand proud with our heads in the ground
Just like you said we should
Muted shades give way to inner riot
Creases deepen under your command
But worry leads to nothing, anyway
And who are we to whine
When at the end of the day we've realized
We're just doing time
They got you buying your chains
It's hard to believe we've never realized that
We'll run out of room to grow
Well, maybe we'll marry up
Maybe we'll have a daughter who marries up
Maybe she'll have a daughter who marries up
At least you're kind enough to meet in the middle
Between what has kept us alive and thriving
And what makes us wanna die for your light
On us to shine
But we gotta come on, what did we expect now
We keep our heads down half the time
No need to reflect how
There really isn't anything to do
So sit back and power through
Better than take your chance in the earth
Best to live than to die for what you're worth
They got you buying your chains
