Retrieving required impetus
Calculating feasible outcome
Sending cronochart coordinates
Calibrating contemporary grammar and enunciation
Watch out
- Wow! Are You serious? Am I supposed to tell this story fusion style?
- Alright. Well then! Suit Yourself! Reluctantly I’ll adjust my tone
In every corner of the world You’ll see there’s reason to hide from what’s about to occur
I’ve seen it happen once before when people started to fear for no good reason at all, let’s try not to fall
for all intimidating threats made by sorry ass demagogs
Wanting us to blame all the problems on one another
Watch out
Suddenly You’re in the middle of a battle of right and wrong
Where family members will turn on each other
Like I said, it has happened before
Right across all time and space
same old story on eternal loop
evil tries to hide it’s face
I’ll try to scare it away with a bass solo

Bell, sounding from afar
suggesting to heed
all the signs right in front of me, asleep,
dreaming calmly like a child
unaware, I swear, I did not know
Wake up! Get dressed! It’s cold out there. Arise!
Time to go! Plenty of reasons to move on.
Now, turn the lights on.
Let’s get this tiresome show on the road
Feels like the wagon will break from the load
Are You ready already?
I wouldn’t wait if I were You so get Your ride and get on up
No time to waste unless You already decided to give in
I’ll get You everything You need if You just hurry up and leave
I am so sorry that I didn’t understand how far it’s gone
until it was almost too late
I’ll make it up to You
We should be grateful the warning bell rang in the nick of time
One moment later and You could have easily been trapped
in poisonous clouds

Your face
Your eyes
Your hair
they all expose Your lies
You suck
You reek
of guile
in fact, You’re a lapse in humanity
I’ll be watching You struggle
How You try to persuade all Your headmen to act
In vain, brain drain - they won’t hear You complain
Afraid, dismayed - their worries lie in the trade
But don’t give up - instead, go tell them
Pitter-patter won’t do
Got to pound over and over again
Be clear, drown out - make it hard not to hear
Afraid, dismayed - their worries lie in the trade
So don’t cave in
Art thou prepared - storm’s approaching with haste
NOONE NOONE - has the might to resist
Right by Your side - to help you right through the mist
Tomorrow - You got to change the course
Hail to democracy
There’s your hypocrisy at large
(you’re so lost, double crossed)
Waving goodbye to sense
You found the bitter consequence
(overruled, don’t be fooled)

Go!
Keep it up
Don’t give in
Way to go
Lead the way
Guide them safe
Out of the fog
get them out
From the vacuum
Hey, don’t You worry ’bout us
right behind You, guarding You
keeping You from falling (moving on)
You’re doing greater than great
keep it up, let’s step it up
higher and louder
Calling out for action needing each of You to join
all on either side
Reaching out for helping hands to get this done in time
Everyone of You
don’t You worry ’bout us
carry on, Your mission is key for survival (keep moving on)
You’re doing greater than great, plod away
Your deeds are crucial for tomorrow

Right down the drain
running through the rain
Yet we are dry
Don’t ask us how or why
We’ll patch the holes You all so thoughtlessly left in Your wake
The mess You made / (2nd time: You were so wrong)
We won’t listen to Your rants anymore
You’ve done more than enough to this world

Once upon a time there was a girl like You
She gave a promise never to be mean
Always clean, serene, dressed in pink like all the rest
Oh, she looked so innocent
It all felt so permanent
But, guess what, she woke up, grew up,
wanted to break free from expectations
Wild, alive, kicking and screaming for more,
craving moments of never-ending kicks
She won’t stop ’til she drops
She’s the queen of the hive
She’s the cream of the crops
Always takes the first dive
Her looks was fraudulent
and the change was imminent
High on life like a teen, carefree, seeing only opportunities so
Don’t stop,
seize the day, all the way, come what may
soon enough You’ll be wearing all Your dresses in gray

- We don’t know if the consequences will be nearly as grave as You imply - But are You really prepared to jeopardize all of humanity?
- We can’t afford to let environmentalists take over our economy!
- Breaks my heart
extirpation
not to mention exploitation
You’re guilty of extermination
obliteration, total devastation
I’d like to know
the reason why
You wouldn’t hear
nature’s cry
so loud and clear
How could You?
You must have seen
yet You did nothing to prevent
total pandemonium
It’s on You
’cause every time You had a choice
You lost Your sense to selfishness and
Greed
Try to look beyond
’cause now You’re causing
extirpation
not to mention exploitation
You’re guilty of extermination
obliteration, total devastation
- What harm would cautiousness do
- We could at least try to listen...
- Shut up!
- That calls for an apology
- Did You really tell me to shut up?

I’m losing track of numbers
I’ve lost myself in wonder who You are
How to fathom You at all
The more I watch You struggle
The more I see how weak Your prospects seem
Gotta look the other way
evolution
I’ve come to this conclusion
There’s not enough of generosity
To be safe You pull it off
I can not hide my disdain
for everyone who chose inaction first
You’re the leeches of the world
Revolution come
let’s tear down the curtain of deceit
let’s reveal the fraud of wall street,
the foul game of trick or treat
Yet there’s a bright horizon
still not in open sight
Tomorrows generation
might light the torch and fight
Right here beside You, waiting
lies all the answers You’ve been looking for
To be read by all who dares
We’re not allowed to guide You
through all conundrums curling up Your mind
Gotta look the other way

Hey, why won’t You understand?
Oh, why can’t You see?
Is it too hard to comprehend?
One step right - no turning back
No steps left - nowhere to go
One thousand leagues - but nowhere to land
Around in circles - getting nowhere
You’re burning down all Your bridges one by one
Can’t You see the devastation - Are You blind?
Tread gently through the woods of despair
Will You ever learn? Will You?
Are You done it’s not too late to change the way You run the show Alternative reality will prove to be necessity
Come along, I’ll show You ways to find the missing tools You need
Your undivided focus is required to succeed
Let’s have a look at the sums of your deeds
Do You feel the pain in the ground or are You numb
The sky is screaming, oceans weeping, mountains bleeding out.
Shame on You!

For real
I’m lost
My mind can’t grasp the scope of it all
I try
To pry
To get even a glimpse of the sense
Perhaps
One day
I will figure out what’s going on
Eventually there’ll be some clarity showing who is wrong and who is right
The day
(You might say judgement day)
will come
(When all will be revealed)
to settle the score once and for all
Of that I’m sure
