Oh why oh why
Am I clinging to a hope
Well I sat in disbelief
As all I once believed
Was good in this land of mine
Was fading out of sight
All to the far right
All seem content with living blind
Oh why oh why
Am I clinging to a hope
Oh why oh why
Am I clinging to a hope
Well the news is full of sound bites
For the simple mind
While the others are losing their will
Some to fear, some to fatigue
We're like lambs laying down for the kill
Oh why oh why
Am I clinging to a hope
Oh why oh why
Am I clinging to a hope
Oh the rich will be fine
When it comes the time
That its all tumbling down
The enemies of hope
They've got us on the ropes
And their leaving nothing but doubt
Their sitting on their hands
While we're going down the pan
Their watching the clocks run out
While we're all getting poorer
Walking through the door
That says this is the only way out
Oh why
Oh why oh why
Am I clinging to a hope
For another vote in my time
Oh why oh why
Am I clinging to a hope
For another vote in my time
Oh why oh why
Am I clinging to a hope
