lyrics

We never understood the depths of the anger of the disadvantaged blinded by their rage.
When people are seeing red, logic flies out the window.
Lost in the circus the carney takes the stage.
He's got the illusions without any proof
He's got all the answers without any truth
Their disillusions are his winning hand.

My best friend came back home from the war educated in a way no young man should.
Impossible to live with anymore he always tried to hang on best he could.
He always had his political side but all his buddies committed suicide
And this might be enough to do him in.

And I'm struggling to find a light in the darkness, nothing's making sense in this world.
And I'm struggling to stay on the righteous side of love but this nightmare just became reality
And nothing's making any sense to me.

I know you wanted someone new, you thought that you knew what to do
We've all drawn a line in the sand.

So many people victimized by the very folks who've convinced them to vote against their own best interest.
So many people victims of their own feelings uncomplicated with facts.

You're still stuck down on the ground, you wanna burn the whole place down
You put the world into his tiny hands.

And I'm struggling to find a light in the darkness, nothing's making sense in this world.
And I'm struggling to stay on the righteous side of love but this nightmare just became reality
And nothing's making any sense to me.
