Time, sometimes, offers anything but resolution Is there a reason why this is never on the front page Or a lead story on the cable news? We tie it up on the telephone With our friends, commiserate as we piss and moan And we become spectators In the dramas of our own creation
And we’re gonna drown our sorrows Sweating out the fears just like the rest Sentenced to our own tomorrows As we elevate the lies and claim success And the great experiment carries on
I hear you say that there’s nothing one alone can do now I’ve had it up to here with your party lines and settling for less Just because I give a damn, people think I’m strange Because they haven’t got the guts for some real change We’ve been marginalized for the last time Now we’ve got to take this in our hands
And we’re gonna drown our sorrows Sweating out the fears just like the rest Sentenced to our own tomorrows As we elevate the lies and claim success And the failed experiment marches on
But I’m not going to suck up the fantastic lies that you sell If you fuck with our trust, you should end up in Hell There’s no intent to discover those lines of relief And every word we've uncovered furthers our disbelief
This is the end, the finish, with our future at stake We can't afford speculation of the choices we make They're franchising power, ensuring they'll do their worst But in this most desperate hour, we will not be coerced
