Someone Come and Save Us

Such a waste of breath with their wealthy treasure chest And their constant search for substance; at the cost of life without reluctance. Some resent the air they breathe; it's an anger that has seethed; If this had been some other days; we would end it in our ways. The mind says run for cover; but you're not alone there’s others And we know that's not the answer; so the doubt spreads like a cancer. Wondering as we can; and trying to understand; Did this begin as a mishap; and did we know this was a trap. Are we slowly losing hope; how much longer must we cope; It's no longer about right; corruption has too much mite Perhaps this is quite common; but it’s an ugly place to fall in; And justice comes to us none; since the power man has come. Is this really where we want to be; when death comes round to see; And does malcontent begin at home; or from out there where we roam. Come on boys we're fighting for democracy; sign the slip and come with me; We're going to the east; it's there we'll kill the beast; the power men must feast. Who will build the fires; as we're hardening from this mire; And can we stay alive; while we're trying to survive? Some may have to stay; to live through ending days; In this story there are doubts; can you hear the muffled shouts; It's so hard to continually ignore; how can we take it anymore; This disease has turned contagious; please someone come and save us.
