Count the Seconds

In this world of opulence
We cannot play the part
Of respected squareboys
With a patriotic heart
While we count the seconds
Politicians on TV
Puking out their promises
These lies for you and me

During nights of deep depression
While the body falls apart
It will take some minutes
Till the poison takes the heart
And while we count the seconds
Loosing fire deep inside
Waiting here for hours
Till death puts out the light

So many brave men
Went into the lake
Mob burned their pictures
To spread the seed of hate
So never count the seconds
Wake up for the day
It's your bizar appearence
That puts color on this grey
