Russian Roulette.
Pointed fingers lead to accusation.
You’re the instigator of the crimes
Homespun propaganda of the nations
Nothing changes in these modern times.
Politicians running for the lifeboats
Shuffling the chairs upon the deck.
Do nothing for the citizens they serve
No wonder our society’s a wreck.
No sign of justice for our people.
Liars and philanderers hold our fate.
Apologies for unearthed misdemeanors.
Regrets expressed when it\'s far too late.
Poor men die to save the rich man\'s ego.
Rich kids still complain about their lives
Child abusers pay to change what’s legal.
Ghettos where the children carry knives
Greedy men guilty of corruption
Incompetency everywhere we look
Anybody can become a victim
Politicians should be brought to book.
Of patriotic pride we are defenders.
Doctrine we bestow upon our youth.
History has taught us to remember.
Patriotic versions of the truth.
Wonder what our people will uncover?
If within the pond we lift a boulder.
Acts of greed,no thought for one another.
Allow the fires of suffering to smolder.
And we’re still playing Russian roulette
The gun you hold gives you the upperhand
Punch drunk on the power forbidden to forget.
Coz with a gun you’re always in command
Hold a single bullet in the gun.
Point it at your head and hold your breath.
Spin the chamber then we’ll see who’s won.
Destitution, Poverty and Death.
Spin the chamber randomly and swiftly.
Spin again, who knows where it may end?
Find the answer silently and quickly
Those who once were enemies become our loyal friends
Surely we have other things to teach?
Who knows what riches can be found?
Will our children’s homes require a bunker within reach.?
Slaughtering the children for some treacle underground.
And we the world’s playing Russian roulette.
Punishing the innocent, for someone else’s crimes.
Serving up a cocktail of murder and regret.
These sad, chaotic, troubled modern times.
