lyrics

Better hold on to you merit
Better hold on to your pride
Before anyone who’s watching makes you part of the devide

Don’t be mad about the level
On which they play your mind, their tricks,
There’s no rest for the wicked,
Only little bits and bricks

I have no answers
To my questions
Hence the heartache
Everyday
I will die
Without clear vision
Keeping all that’s real
At bay

Can you hold on to what’s righteuous
Can you hold the candle stick
Is there truth in your behaviour
Can you shed what’s politic

Have you been to your grand saviour
Have they told you something new
Is the world out there a testbed
Why does everyone act askew

I have no answers
To my questions
Hence the heartache
Everyday
I will die
Without clear vision
Keeping all that’s real
At bay

Where’s the journey gonna end
Where’s the path to the way it was
When you find it let me have it
I’ll be saving the applause

See, we’re all in this together
Whether we can agree or not
We’ll be living side by side, now
And the rest’s
An afterthought…
