ONSIND LYRICS

"A Story In Three Acts"

Nine teenagers will lose their lives today, to traffic related incidents (or so I'm told),
And I assure you that I'm not trying to scare you with these words, nor am I trying to alter any opinion you may hold,
The real tragedy is that I can't find more comfort in the fact that I'm still breathing, blood's still flowing through my veins,
But the only thing that I can think about is the price of petrol (it's a world of pain)

If 'development' means what I think,
I think I'll look around and try to find a better way,
If this is modern living,
I wish I'd walked and kept my conscience clean today,

The news reporters show us all the violence alongside images of Islam,
because 'terrorism's rife' (or so I'm told),
And they assure me, that they're not trying to scare me with their words, nor are they trying to alter any opinions I may hold,
The real tragedies are skimmed over, or ignored in favour of feel-good ending, celebrity weddings or seasonal cheer,
And the only thing that anyone can think about is the price of petrol (we live in fear)

I'm feeling stifled by a media which colours fact with fiction,
I'm trying desperately to swim against the stream,
Realise that the truth has always been someone's opinion,
and this fight between 'good' and 'evil' is not as simple as it seems.
