Our New Day

(album: Peace - 2020)

Ambassadors and statesmen
Bring us a new war
Loud and bloody distractions
To forget we've been bled raw
Our leaders just can't help it
Always talking large
Feathering suburban nests
From their sabotage

If you stand for nothing
And look the other way
You'll fall for anything

Today is our new day

See the lawyer full of pride
A city courtesan
Climbing up the ladder
Singing "I'm a self made man"
Landlords and freeholders
Learn to tie the noose
Tight around our necks
Til we're choking to get loose

God bless all
Who read their Bible
Study the Koran
His curse on all
Who use those words
To kill another man
Justice is a fragile thing
Diminished by neglect
I don't wanna be a sideshow
In this circus of regrets
If you stand for nothing
And think it's all ok
You'll fall for anything

Today is our new day
