Some saw it all the same 

But wouldn't believe their eyes 

Some knowing wrong from right

Couldn't locate a spine 

Any crime 

Any time 

Seems to be just fine 

 

That's one way to escape 

The closing door 

The prison walls 

Become the candidate 

Run to be untouchable 

Whatever happened to our better angels? 

 

Swallowing lies as history repeats 

(Not a single care for those they put at risk)

The lack of surprise within these defeats 

(Not a single thought for the stakes they missed)

Not a single care for those they put at risk 

(Swallowing lies as history repeats)

Not a single thought for the stakes they missed

(The lack of surprise within these defeats)

For the stakes they missed 

 

Leave no-one behind 

Reject what they don't hide

The othering, belittling. The misplaced pride. 

And let your existence be the resistance 

Be the resistance 

 

Illuminate what's tender 

Illuminate what's wise 

(Swallowing lies as history repeats)

Don't let yourself surrender to feeling occupied 

(The lack of surprise within these defeats)

And as you see him being let off all the hooks 

(Illuminate what's tender Illuminate what's wise)

Remember there is more, more to life than crooks 

(Don't let yourself surrender to feeling occupied)

And as you see him being let off all the hooks 

(Illuminate what's tender Illuminate what's wise)

Remember there is more, more to life than crooks 

(Don't let yourself surrender to feeling occupied)

There's more to life than crooks
