about
SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO RAGE!
When pandemic, government ineptitude, corruption, terrorism, racism, and poverty conspire against us, it’s enough to make anybody frustrated, angry, depressed, and wondering where to turn for help. So I’m going to have to rage a bit – don’t know if it helps, but it feels right!
Where do we go when truth has been denied
Where do we go when waters rise
Where do we go when hope is minimized
Where do we go when reason dies
Where do we go when lies are glorified
Where do we go when failure reigns
Where do we go when we are terrorized
Where do we go, where do we go, where do we go
Misinformation leads to mistrust, no doubt about it
Cover-ups and cowards, like a plague on the land
You’re wrong when you’re right, ‘cause day is night
And that’s where it’s at
When lies and lunacy, hide the truth at hand
Got ears and eyes and online spies
Give you palpitations
It’s just a matter of time, till the righteous come lookin’ for you
Gonna gitcha in the morning
Gonna gitcha at night
It’s always someone else ‘till it’s not
Better put up a fight
In this darkness
Cruel and heartless
Gotta fight to stay alive
Greed and power
Destroy - devour
I’m feelin’ vandalized
Were we sleeping
By the seashore
Were we dreaming
‘Bout the sun
Did we get what
We had coming
Were we held up
With a gun
Where do we go when we’ve been led astray
(Don’t think I know)
Where do we go when we can’t hide
(Just where to go)
Where do we go when we become the prey
(What to do, which way to turn)
(Gotta watch out, gotta keep low)
Where do we go when
We can’t hide when we realize
Running wild-eyed
Raging inside
Feelin’ amplified
Unprogressive
Send a message
Feelin’ sanctified
Fear no evil
Mad and lethal
Feelin’ justified
Lose the blindfold
Your freedom’s been sold
Feelin’ worlds collide
Where do we go when fear has gripped the land
Where do we go when fires rage
(when the fires rage)
Where do we go when science gets denies
(when there’s too much hate)
Where do we go when life’s a cage
(better run away)
Where do we go when souls are casualties
(don’t know where to go)
Where do we go when we’re in pain
(can only find a way)
Where do we go when life holds tragedy
(lookin’ for a better way)
Where do we go, where do we go
(a better way)
Where do we go, where do we go
(a better place)
Where do we go, where do we go
(where to we go)
