Lyrics & Tabs

Democracy in Kind
« back
There's a U.N. white and blue
Fell from half-mast, now
Half covering a red shoe
Half asked if they were us
What would we do

Mr. newsman send your wire
Let Washington conspire
You know the company men
Wait for you in their lair

But a moment is calling
Calling us all
As your one time supporters
Hang from media walls
And outside the gate
Fate is closing in
You can turn us down but you can't
Deny the din

From the farmlands to the townships
The masses are classless
War cries rise with every hour that passes
The trampled voices of the past are ceasing us
Go ahead and load the magazines 'cause them bullets are treasonous
    Chorus:
    Quiet
    Your leader is going to speak now
    Everyone turn off your mind
    Quiet
    You're listening to a raid on the state of your
    Democracy in kind

But a moment is calling
Calling us all
As your one time supporters
Hang from media walls
And outside the gate
Fate is closing in
You can turn us down but you can't
Deny the din

From the farmlands to the townships
The masses are classless
War cries rise with every hour that passes
The trampled voices of the past are ceasing us
Go ahead and load the magazines 'cause them bullets are treasonous
    Chorus:
    Quiet
    Your leader is going to speak now
    Everyone turn off your mind
    Quiet
    You're listening to a raid on the state of your
    Democracy in kind
