Be counted

Sit down and see it all over again
Aint it too much for you to watch over and over?
Sitting down for hours on end just to see recycled
News.
Don't it bother you what they try and feed you?
Useless crap that don't mean nothing to us, just
Entertainment to keep the masses amused.

I write down all the things I saw on the day.
Yeah that's right I like it down here in the dark
The ignorance of it all where no one can touch me
Just someone who don't want the corruption
Who wants to see views for what they are:
Unadulterated thoughts that have clear messages.
Wanted to protest!

Wanted to be there with you all,
Show my support and show them want we want.
But it doesn't make a difference does it?
I mean they didn't listen then, they wont now.
Cynical youth they call us, disaffected x generation.
Well maybe they are right

But I wont say I didn't try,
I wont be the one who chanted the slogans
And wore the badges but supported the oil barons
All sitting up there in their egg shaped rooms,
Musty cigar rooms that deal in life and death
Clinical executions like it were one big game
Just another few hundred for the cause of the evangelist dragon.
Deep and evil feelings to crush and burn.

I don't wanna be there when it all happens
I cant see the people succumb or be raped by the baron and his
puppets.
To pay them off with cheap lies and cheaper yet aid,
Yeah they say they'll feed you, but who are they really feeding?
It's all to much for me to handle anymore,
To not be counted and to be ignored.
Maybe its time to pick up the

Brick
To shout even louder
To scream in blood
To show them that flowers aren't just green
That we have metal and edges and limits
Wont they be surprised that the flower power
Did more than just sit in starbucks drinking recycled shit.

Just to warn you,
It not all over
It wont be over while we are here
To say no to stand up
To be there and scream
To show them what we mean
To try and save one life;
Even if its one;
One is enough to bring back the dawn.
