The tyranny of the majority Goes unobserved Coz it’s not a dictator That we serve But you gotta know That John Stewart Mill Wasn’t serving checks At the till As he talked about The subjugation of the female Now they’re in our contacts Or our email Watching over our shoulder The stuff we do And I’m just as normal As the next one, are you? Coz if you Step out of line You’ll do some Anti social time On the clocks Or on the checks And if you’re wondering What’s coming next You better be aware The reason why I can’t meet your stare I’m just as dissatisfied But hyper conscious Of all that I do In the gaze of the anxious Coz I’ve been one myself Now I’m back to New York The road it bends Before the fork And I gotta Make a choice Stand up and Use my voice For as fragile As it may seem Everyone who Wakes the dream Makes it a little easier For those to follow And trusting the movement Isn’t as hollow As you might think Don’t believe them when they say Have another drink It’ll be okay And is it time To add my stead To the rock and roll In my head And you gotta hand it To the new generation They’re holding steady Not flicking the station Are we millennials Or Gen Z Watching our phones Like they’re tv Only to realise It’s not real Just a story About how we feel And drama we make Will play itself out Until we’re left With nothing to doubt And set our foot On certainty Just remember You’re always free
There’s a new thing brewing But can it keep its head Cause the parapet is raised And so many people lie dead But I climb up the rock There’s a world of things that I am not As the sun in the sky Shines over the seas as they go by And it’s hopping over there On the Western front and I care About how it all goes down I left half my heart in that town And now I go back Before the attack In shoes that I can walk What does it take to see through the talk Into what is true Is there any way I can save you From your fate The demolition that lies in wait I shake the dust off my shoulders I’m like Icarus chasing boulders That have no business in that myth But the world is chomping at the bit And this is just a dragon I dance with In my hope for a new born truth A time beyond the confines of youth As we let the shackles drop What does it take for one person to say stop And breathe What do the people need Can we shift the scene Out of this nightmarish dream I know no one who can say That everything is okay When we just let it crumple If there’s lightning then thunder will rumble
