The fall-out from the verbal trash explosion
Was beginning to choke my mind
My reason was flat out but losing
A winning battle towing the line
Central control was being attacked
My friends and me gathered around
While shock troops arrive spreading tear gas
Propaganda guns started to pound
I said right now it's all happening before your eyes
Right now as the lady-in-waiting takes off her disguise
Right now it's all happening before your eyes
Right now there's a strike down in the mine
My reason was shattered, smashed to smithereens
A survival kit had stood in my way
As electronic insects crawl round my room
I think it's time to get back on the street
Meet up with the boys, we have no choice
Survival meant killing that beast
I was tricked into thinking that had attained
What I wanted but that was in vain
So let me tell you all of these things
Are all they're cracked up to be
Can you feel the pressure as it's building up
And you wonder why they ever disbelieve
Right now it's all happening before your eyes
Right now as the lady-in-waiting takes off her disguise
Right now it's all happening before your eyes
Right now there's a strike down in the mine
