The eve of protest

The day before the storm
Protests fall on deaf ears
The master's voice rings
The rest is mere noise

Cars run helter skelter
Ready to park tomoro
Water cannons to stun
Neath the gas, tears

End game, bigger than us
Masks evil planners  
Mere cogs in a wheel
Turned by hidden hands

Watchers and doers
Prepare for peace
Haters fund goons
To disrupt disonnance

Here we go again
Battling each other
From afar, elites watch
On TV and internet

Scramble for wealth
You will not last
The hands of time
Change your form
