Coming of the New Morn

The Coming of the New Morn! Gather around people Wherever you are Whether you travel By foot, train or car Listen dear friends And heed that I Warn. Tomorrow when you wake. You will greet. The New Morn. When all information. Is controlled by the state. It won’t make any difference. If you are early or late. The past is history. Today you were Born. Rise up, stand in line, And hail. The New Morn. Remote control Drones Are coming here, New weapon systems No pilot has to steer Domestic spying, and killing our own It’s the calm before the Storm. Hold your tongue, Shut your mouth, And salute The New Morn. The times are changing So far, we’re losing the fight Blurring the edges Between what’s wrong and what’s right Choosing to walk the path of peace. Or fall in lock step, and wear the uniform The time to choose grows ever so thin CHOOSE NOW, or lick the boots of The New Morn. We’re destroying our Mother, Poisoning the waters, wreaking havoc all over the lands. Fukushima is radiating the seas Big oil is fracking and drilling, and pipe-lining Tar Sands. Monsanto has plans to patent the planet. People spill into the streets; the nations flag is worn. Police in riot gear, Are there to enforce The New Morn. So wake up, Right Now! Herald the new day! A new Party has taken power, They promise their going to stay. Revolutions in the air Yesterday is dead, no time to sit and Mourn. The time is ripe for change. In this moment it's the People's turn To Seize the New Morn!
