lyrics

From the poet to the priest
This has spread from West to East
Propaganda war machine
Biggest mess the world has seen

And all those aching indecisions
Confusing double visions
As you're shifting your positions
Condemn the lying politicians
Who'll take away every dream and ambition that you've never had
Oh baby, did you think things could ever get this bad ?

Children play in empty streets
Shattered glass on hard concrete
Dreams of open parks are rare
Can't seem to find them anywhere

The questions come fully loaded
Your protective wall has eroded
From the beaten, the broken and the goaded
To the ticket that exploded
Now the stranger in the corner is asking why you're so sad
Oh baby, did you think things could ever get this bad ?

And we struggle to the end
Bills to pay, nothing to spend
When did life become this way ?
Can't make ends meet from day to day

All the zombies stick together
And they tell you 'bout the weather
And they think they are so clever
You ask them, "When will it rain ?", and they say, "Never"
So you walk away and head back home before you get too mad
Oh baby, did you think things could ever get this bad ?
Oh baby, did you think things could ever get this bad ?
Oh baby, did you think things could ever get this bad ?
