The shot in the air

IS IT MY IMAGINATION 

FOR I HAVE HEARD

THE SHOT IN THE AIR

I HAVE SEEN DEGRADATION, 

HUMILIATION 

THAT I CANT STAND

AND MONEY EXCHANGING HANDS

THE DEAL'S BEEN SEALED FOR US

FOR WHICH THIS NATION STANDS

I HAVE HOPE FOR PROGRESS

AND ROPE IN A FEW FRIENDS 

ON THE UNDERGROUND 

FOR MY WORK TO CONTINUE 

FOR NOTHING AT ALL

TAKE IT FACE VALUE

IT IS WHAT IT IS

GOD IS NOT A CONTRADICTION

NEITHER IS FAITH

FOR WHAT WE DEMAND

THE TIME IS UPON US

LET US BE FREE

SEE WHAT IT MEANS TO ME
