Great leap forward
Riding the years to when I was younger, a photograph with a knowing stare
Setbacks couldn't put out the hunger
I called it hope but it looks just like despair
I'm losing faith in this frozen nation, I can't take any more lies
Feeling damned by discrimination and too many early goodbyes
Big shot's planning some tax evasion, acts like a regular guy
Foodbanks needed to block starvation, waiting for the the great leap forward
Stare at my self in the bathrroom mirror, a worn grey face with a rueful smile
The future we wanted it seems no nearer
Maybe it's better just living in denial
Species close to extermination, waters continue to rise
Ruling class leads the conversation, all I can see's compromise
People believe the misinformation, don't try to rationalise
I'm just stuck in my rumination, hoping for the great leap forward
I'm losing faith in this frozen nation, I can't take any more lies
Feeling damned by discrimination and too many early goodbyes
Big shot's planning some tax evasion, acts like a regular guy
Foodbanks needed to block starvation, working for the the great leap forward
Setbacks couldn't put out the hunger
I called it hope but it looks just like despair
I'm losing faith in this frozen nation, I can't take any more lies
Feeling damned by discrimination and too many early goodbyes
Big shot's planning some tax evasion, acts like a regular guy
Foodbanks needed to block starvation, waiting for the the great leap forward
Stare at my self in the bathrroom mirror, a worn grey face with a rueful smile
The future we wanted it seems no nearer
Maybe it's better just living in denial
Species close to extermination, waters continue to rise
Ruling class leads the conversation, all I can see's compromise
People believe the misinformation, don't try to rationalise
I'm just stuck in my rumination, hoping for the great leap forward
I'm losing faith in this frozen nation, I can't take any more lies
Feeling damned by discrimination and too many early goodbyes
Big shot's planning some tax evasion, acts like a regular guy
Foodbanks needed to block starvation, working for the the great leap forward
