Diatribes

Bite the bit, scream till you're blue in the face



Nice pipe dreams or passive revolution?



Foot soldiers

With weapons of placards and banners

How will they stop the rot?



No standing to reason

'cause reason is treason

It doesn't seem feasible



Lie down

And cry all you can

The machine rolls over you



It just don't seem feasible - no!



Black face to Nazi - try pleading affinity

Hands up, boot in, shattering the passive dream

But is it right to tolerate this fucked democratic process?



Shattering the passive dream



Is it 'cause we like to hear the sound of our own voice?

Big-hearted diatribes, just like my dilemma

Time to return compliments, shattering the passive dream?
