With all the evil that constantly surrounds me
I find it difficult to notice the beauty
Turn the TV on no matter what channel I choose
Its always gonna be more bad news
Eternally bombarded, stories of despair
Images of horror, got us livin' scared
Eternally bombarded, stories of despair
The lights are on but there ain't nobody there
Now the people all go running around, with their heads between their legs
Crushed beneath the weight, face to the ground
Kneel before the masters, exactly how they wanted
We are the ghosts of free men, entire planet earth is haunted
So what now? where do we turn?
Is this punishment for all the lessons we couldn't learn?
Slept with one eye open, terrified of the lies
That we choose to swallow, each and every day of our lives
