Countdown

(album: The Daily Grind - 1993)

Another home is lost from someone who was poor
Another body found for the government to ignore
Another cop caught beating up on innocence
Another law that seems to make no fucking sense
Natural disaster is just something we don't need
Another person tested positively to H.I.V.
Another mountain side that we cannot see
Another politician's life remains a mystery

Newspaper headlines, do they tell us what is right, or what is wrong?
I wanna know exactly what the fuck is going on
The media has built a fortress all around our minds
Will I see it broken before I lay down and die

The clock is winding down
Just a matter of time until it comes here to this town
Countdown countdown
Countdown countdown

Another wall is built between color and race
Another wrong decision about peace is made
Another chemical is dumped into the sea
Another fact is not exactly what you read
Another piece of land that just could not be saved
Another education that could not be paid
Another killer in the street is roaming free
Another day, another pain, another misery

Newspaper headlines, do they tell us what is right, or what is wrong?
I wanna know exactly what the fuck is going on
The media has built a fortress all around our minds
Will I see it broken before I lay down and die

The clock is winding down
Just a matter of time until it comes here to this town
Countdown countdown
Countdown countdown

I've got a feeling, I've got a bad feeling inside
I've got a feeling, I've got a bad feeling inside
I've got a feeling, I've got a bad feeling inside
I've got a feeling, I've got a feeling, I've got a bad feeling inside
