Where are we today? Where do we stand?
We see the misery destroying this sweet land
What words can describe the endless flow of tears?
Who has got the brains to think up new ideas?

When is the end? It’s been in sight for too long
Who will be left when the dead are gone?
Such questions shouldn’t need to be made
But they’re never answered, we’re always betrayed

Death is the easy way out if you’re so depressed
But we must stick together and rise to be the best
Cos we can beat the decay if we try hard enough
You don’t have to be hard, you don’t have to be tough

Starving third-world, dirty tramps, moneyless youths
Unemployed middle-aged, racist hooligans, fighting idiots
Angry rioters, unfair treatment, crooked politicians
Dealers in death, mentally insane, criminal faction
IRA’s destruction, terrorist element, stupid apartheid
Black v white, prostitutes in the life, anti-gay demonstrations
Cancer-ridden pensioners, retired widows, sickness of Vietnam
Now Afghanistan, lying friends, evil religions that teach you to hate
This is reality.
