We're burning, burning in winterland stuck in the hinterland of the fix It ain't no surprise that we finally come to this it don't have to be like this ... unhip The mailman of hope is bringing the mailbag of change Love letters and blackmail delivered just the same This town don't ask many questions they don't wanna listen they just wanna turn It may not always be easy if it were easy what would we learn? The mailman of hope is bringing the mailbag of change Love letters and blackmail delivered just the same

They wrote nation of the free in the court of the unjust the police were unlawful, the government corrupt the ministers were liars, the leadership followed the bankers were thieves, the church immoral Opinion was news, hearsay the fact poisoning the view the point always lax amusement was cheap, the broadcasters pimps the function narcotic, the viewers made chimps And you wonder why we drink And you wonder why we smoke And you wonder why we have no care in this land of empty hope Aspiration made shallow, commerce psychotic education dumb, religion despotic honours were bought, dignity sold money cheapens all cos business is cold The citizens duped, no representation into the chaos of organisation the few ridiculed for realisation they called this control civilisation And you wonder why we drink And you wonder why we smoke And you wonder why we have no care in this land of empty hope All consuming trashcan of distinction all destroying face of extinction all shouting nothing from a human malaise our cheerleaders for the end of days And you wonder why we drink And you wonder why we smoke And you wonder why we have no care in this land of empty hope

Who put the hex on you? who got the bad hoo doo? the sky above is blue, and so my friend are you I don't wanna be tried, I wanna get equalised were going deep inside, I'm gonna testify How trying is the mind, tomorrows green eyed wish how gone we are with time, how sweet the moment is I don't wanna be tried, I wanna get equalised were going deep inside, I'm gonna testify Forget the words you said, send those dusty ghosts afar the devil's in the head and heaven is in the heart I don't wanna be tried, I wanna get equalised were going deep inside, I'm gonna testify The phantom strikes within and follows us without how dazzling is the word, the burning star of now I don't wanna be tried, I wanna get equalised were going deep inside, I'm gonna testify yeah get out of your mind, come get equalised we're living out of time, we left all that behind Folks, we're all stumbling amnesiac halfwits here on this conscious tableau For when riding this schism, we do so in a prison one of our own design and decision so let's say we skip this hell, break out of our cell and slice instead on the razors edge of now This moment is our freedom, the prison is ourselves your failures will return until you fail no more So get hip quick folks!

Some are up, some are down karma's corrupt this side of town hard times will turn your friends around love is bankrupt when your down Cos sympathy ain't free, it's just commodity like the lead they steal from the cemetery You don't need sharks with friends like that when you're on your knee's expect an attack jungle law in every cul de sac the lesson right here will be your map Equality ain't free, it's just commodity just out of reach of you and me Cos peace don't come free, it's just commodity it takes up time and energy But chaos brings a brand new dawn dead wood shall fall in this passing storm rise above the knee jerk norm you got to burn to be reborn

I woke up this morning and what did I feel? rumble in my belly, weavels in my meal I open my window and what do i see? hunger and sickness and misery Where the hell you at Lord? Where the hell you at? Where the hell you at Lord? Where the hell you at? I open my paper and what do i find? story of the dumb folks leading the blind I go uptown and mercy me Power in the hands of colossal thieves Lies in the eyes of the moneyed elite crimes in the guise of democracy Chorus Shame in the shanties of the starving young greed in the gardens of the hum drum the sums being rung in the face of the poor the things being done in the name of the lord One thing for sure in this calamity you'll die before you get equality Chorus
