lyrics

Stupid people - ruling the world
With a whole lot of ends that will never be furled.

It's been coming now for years but it's growing in numbers
clouding up my dreams of a future of wonders
It's time when opinion is outdoing facts
the lies are so common that no one reacts

Energy prices, double-digit inflation
Bigots, disasters, war, and desolation

When I grew up, I thought leaders did what they should
That everyone was in really good hands
But then I saw it was greedy up at the top
and even worse - it was run by ignorants

How could it be - that elected people were bad
Are we all fools to put them in power?
Across the globe, it's the same repeating itself
We just consume and devour

I don't give up, and I still believe
We can get through the dark times ahead
but we need help
Someone to give us a hand

Who will it be? Is there anyone?
is it time to look up in the sky?
Waiting for them?
Hoping that ET will land?

A night - with shining armored ships
Before the total eclipse

It's really bad when disasters pile up a wall
and no one cares but to fill their pockets.
We look away and refuse to hearing the call
Nowhere to go without rockets.

Bribery and greed are a long tradition
But it's time for us to make a big transition
caring 'bout each other is a good beginning
but planning ahead is the way to winning
I want to look at a brighter future
Not just patching up the wounds with a sloppy suture
Will they come?

A night - with shining armored ships
Before the total eclipse
shining armored ships
I feel we're losing our grips
