lyrics

We’re Closing In

The hope is getting thinner
But still growing in the mirror,
We're closing in
We're closing in.

We're closing in on the politicians who talk like
Chat-­‐show hosts or
Game-­‐show hosts Selling no-­‐hope votes
For long dead ghosts In this non-­‐stop, Long-­‐lost,
One-­‐stop-­‐ shut up shop of a world.

We're closing in on Reality Stars
Dying on camera
And exploited in full knowledge In view of a pay packet
That doesn't add up

We're closing in on the empty
Bitching of envy.
And the competition of how to reach the lowest rung quickest

We're closing in We're closing in

We're closing in on the ones Driven to do their worst
By the failings of their Fathers And the errors of the state
We'll see if there's a break And we'll do what we can
To assist them.

We're closing in on the ones
Who would bracket you up
Or hole you up
Or box you up into
Neat Little Compartments.
These labels have no place or meaning.
Freedom is more than a word.

We're closing in on the ones
Who think art is luxury

And not necessity.
Not the transportation to keep mind and soul alive

And we're closing in
On the Fakers
And all those time-­‐wasters
Who regularly try our minds

We're closing in on the bankers
And the wankers
Who found out for real
This time

We're closing in On fear of change
Fear of difference
And fear itself
It freezes thought
And strips us of our Humanity.

We're closing in
On ignorance born of greed
Dead from need
Dried out the seed.
We're closing in
On complacency and apathy
Because it could always happen again
Here or anywhere else.

We're closing in
On hate crimes
Real as day.
And dark as night

We're closing in
And we won't stop
Until there is the
Unity and
Responsibility To see the Reality
That we are born of stars
And can reach them again.

We're closing in.
We're closing in
We're closing … in.
