Текст: Conflict. Conclusion. A Declaration Of Independence.

A declaration of independence, the other person has cleared
Understand the perspective, get the directive, and realise our fears
We are simply trying to connect nowadays, but does anybody want to know?
I'm finding it hard, putting feelings into words, another chapter remains unwrote

They say, we are standing firmly in the rain, simply waiting for it to stop
They said that we should build new umbrellas because we are stuck in our own rut
I say, blow away the rain clouds, for the new horizon is crystal clear
Its took sometime, but we're on the right track - now where do we go from here?

Sick and tired of worthless statements, pissed off with the same old songs
You stuff your moral rule book, of what's allowed, what's right and wrong

Oh yes, there's those who only criticise yet offer nothing new, solutions? Ideas?
No, just rake up shit what a clever thing to do

We must strive on for what we know is right
We know all too well there's no end in sight
But human nature is still on our side
As the politicians fall into landslide
We're out on the street, feeling the beat
Of the hearts in anger at the upper crust elite
Who don't hear us scream or beg for a halt
Or when we weep over what their society aborts

Conflict after conflict. Now it's just the bare bones of what we are
A vicious circle in an open ended struggle
Life goes on as if all around is not relevant
As we look through closed eyes we try and understand
If we had a view, what would it show?
We're stuck in a room that has no view
And so are you ... or are you? Well are you?
