Part of my daily routine involved watching the daily lectures from our esteemed leader, but there was very little change from one day’s lecture to the next. Perhaps a change in leadership would finally allow me to reclaim my life and learn to live again…
lyrics
You’re the man atop the tower
You’re the face on all the screens
Giving so much information
I don’t know what to believe
The rockets in the sky
They’re all falling back to earth
Every day a new diversion
Don’t you know what life is worth?
Longing for freedom
Waiting for the day
When we can finally take back
All the trust you threw away, Hey!
Give up the throne
Lay down your game
Too much confusion
It’s all been in vain
Do you listen to the feedback?
Are you doing all you can?
No concern for right or wrong
Do you even have a plan?
For those who sing your praises
There’s hundreds on the side
And your whispers only serve
to expand the great divide
Longing for freedom
Waiting for the day
When we can finally take back
All the trust you threw away
Longing for freedom
Waiting for the cure
‘Cause right now we’re all pieces
In your ego-driven war
Keep on digging deeper
‘till you’re stuck inside your hole
I’ll just be here, sitting with
these things I can’t control
So hard to see the future
When we can’t ignore the past
Crying out for common sense…
Lord, I hope it’s coming fast
