Men in their suits
look outside, laughing
Once again
we've had a great election
Outside, the people
huddle up in the cold
Don't realize what's best for them
can't reason while shivering
Again the fire burns
it brings nothing new
As if in secret
it adds to the people's rancor
And when our eyes
meet another empty pair
We go there
where the new sun shines
Mere shadow people
blacken the streets
There's only shadow people
who fear the world
There's no shared journey
there's not even love
There's only mere shadow people
who fear each other
Searching for justice
are those roaming our streets
The geniuses figure it out:
hang the dissenters
And our relatives
we hate like ourselves
Well, whatever
that's just our life
This new ideology
will soon have us against everything
And principle
will only destroy us
We were given the tools
we didn't build, we made a grave
Our new god
we'll follow unto death
Mere shadow people
blacken the streets
There's only shadow people
who fear the world
There's no shared journey
there's not even love
There's only mere shadow people
who fear each other
