The Inside Tempo

Old boys! 
Jut their youths' ideas 
Marvel at dark streets 
Surrounded by lark' sound 

Age of the sun 
Life of the earth 
Facts seem phoney 
All dwindle hardy hopes 

Tongues spoken 
Words split open 
Guns left free 
And harvest in vain 

Hearts desired 
Reality crooked 
For the way paved 
Broken justice reserved
