No Escape

We can’t escape it, don’t know what to do.
People at each other, guess it’s overdue.
Yeah, we’ve read about it.
Is it here? I doubt it,
but I’m here to tell ya that it all is true.
 
Cuz the world’s falling fast into decay.
Makes me wanna stand up, shout to say -
I don’t really know man!
Where we gonna go man?
We can’t keep going on and on this way.
 
They make us think there is a choice to make.
They control both sides, why won’t we awake?
Why we wanna to play it’s
such a stupid game it
has us on a path to the same mistake.
 
Cuz ya know it’s all been done before.
Every empire’s been brought to the floor.
Why we never learn man?
Getting played each time and
every time the scale and the cost is more.
 
So, now it’s time for the final scene.
Every story ends if you know what I mean.
Nothing’s gonna stop it.
Everyone is lost with
no way to escape cuz… we’ve all joined a team.
