The Watchman

Watchmen in your towers
Storm clouds rolling in
Common sense like a virgin
To be sacrificed again
I can't promise you tomorrow
I can't go back to where I'm from
It's not my choice to cut and run
The time to stand has come

The seeds of doubt are planted
I just don't understand
Masses of the unwashed
Building castles made of sand
The world keeps getting smaller
We're just pics on Instagram
With catchy cliche phrases
A meme shows who I am
All around conspiracies
In our food the air we breathe

Watchmen in your towers
Will decency survive
I've witnessed our descent
Skin divides our warring tribes
Liberty is priceless
To be free the cost is high
Who decides these rights for all
Or power to deny
Search for truth in what I say
Try to think not just obey

There are those suits and robes
In mansions where they dwell
Took advantage of disadvantaged
And those who can not tell
Feel a chill inside of me
Time to rise get off your knees

Watchmen in your towers
Will this moment pass
Legions of us dying
We argue about the vax
The world keeps getting smaller
Are you just a pic on Instagram
A catchy cliche phrase
Be a Watchman make a stand
