How Much Longer lyrics
Verse 1
I sometimes think our world has gone a bit insane
Like the anxious test pilot who decided he preferred a train
And talking heads will argue in order to burnish their fame
While the truth is decked out in drag regalia
Oh the government is the devil, or the government is the cure
And everyone thinks everyone else’s motives are impure
Oh how did we ever, get so insecure?
Perhaps we’ll find the truth in Somalia
Chorus
Yes, we’re pissed at our impotence
While we desperately proclaim our own innocence
The time on the clock is right twice a day
Oh how much longer can we go on living this way?
Oh how much longer can we go on living this way?
Verse 2
A blind girl is our foil to turn back time
To a past that never existed, except in our minds
While we profess our outrage at the rising tide of crime
While we watch ‘Real World’ reruns on TV
We use dig whistles to call out to others on our side
And our anger grows toward those who insult our pride
And the boys in back sharpen plowshares while they hide
in plain sight of their war zone’s debris
Chorus
Verse 3
Reality goes unnoticed while the teapot tempest sputters
The President plays Rasputin in his production of ‘The Czar Mutters’
The media tell their lies with all the seriousness of stone cutters
While comedians tell the truth in their jokes
How long can we sustain this fantasy insurrection
While our politician’s TREASON avoids simple detection
The trolls can’t tell which is worse, the pandemic or the vaccine injection
While Polyanna complains her sickness is just a hoax
Chorus
