No Longer Sleeping

this world is infected by greed
as it collapses all around us
one more community to bleed
to be discarded under the bus
government takes the lion’s share
with laws and policy laced intercourse
if no fruit comes to bare
they take it by war and brute force

fighting amongst ourselves
falling deeper in the hole
push comes to shove
and evil claims another soul
new age citizen mass produced
with propaganda and science
mind control being self induced
by random acts of violence

i won’t go out that way
i’m living day to day
my eyes open wide
won’t be pushed aside
i’m no longer sleeping
no longer sleeping

the outcome is always the same
when the contest is fixed
just another grave without a name
beyond anger i am pissed
there is no voice for the people
when all the prophets are targeted
secrets buried beneath the steeple
as our lives are sold and marketed

fighting amongst ourselves
falling deeper in the hole
push comes to shove
and evil claims another soul
new age citizen mass produced
with propaganda and science
mind control being self induced
by random acts of violence

i won’t go out that way
i’m living day to day
my eyes open wide
won’t be pushed aside
i’m no longer sleeping
no longer sleeping
