It's No Dream

about

A party tune for the end of things-unless we wake up!

lyrics

Got to think we are acting naively
When we say it don't matter too much
Ships can sink, no one wants to believe me
Still the game's played, still out of touch
Eyes of death are looking right through you
Smiles on face say we still don't see
Drink and dance all zombies and voodoo
Hexed, not vexed, adrift on the sea.

Make me angry
Make me scream
Stakes are high here
It's no dream

Starving babies are dying each minute
Spirits broken, can't take too much more
Think we're safe, no cause to be in it
Forget the image, it's someone else's war
Won't believe you're from the same family
Don't perceive it's your brother's pain
Not your fault, yet it matters so deeply
Tied on the tracks, on rushes the train

Make me angry
Make me scream
Stakes are high here
It's no dream

May have put it rudely for someone
Might be hidden under a beat
Up to you, it can't remain undone
Can't make effort causes defeat
Think fast, and act from the heart giving
Can't let life take a turn for the worst
Earth stands by with bountiful blessings
For those who move to remove sorrows curse

Make me angry
Make me scream
Stakes are high here
It's no dream
