Downfall
Are we surprised by the lack of action
Taken by leaders we chose to elect?
We shot ourselves in the foot by giving
Them the opportunities to neglect
The most vulnerable of us
We have faced failure, by those with power
In trouble we cannot absolve the blame
We must recognise, the faults in our lives
We cannot depend on vague slogans for change
Our hands soak in the blood
Of the lost ones we loved
We are culpable, all accountable
For the state that we've let the world become
Disappointment shadows over our lives
With unjust happenings we still defend
Arguing that politics should have no place
Whilst austerity has left many dead
They will have all died in vain
Instead of funding we clap with feigned support
To drown out the cries of those in need we ignored
When it mattered the most we chose convenience
We lapped up the lies and wallowed in ignorance
We have faced failure, by those with power
In trouble we cannot absolve the blame
We must recognise, the faults in our lives
We cannot depend on vague slogans for change
Our hands soak in the blood
Of the lost ones we loved
We are culpable, all accountable
For the state that we've let the world become
Taken by leaders we chose to elect?
We shot ourselves in the foot by giving
Them the opportunities to neglect
The most vulnerable of us
We have faced failure, by those with power
In trouble we cannot absolve the blame
We must recognise, the faults in our lives
We cannot depend on vague slogans for change
Our hands soak in the blood
Of the lost ones we loved
We are culpable, all accountable
For the state that we've let the world become
Disappointment shadows over our lives
With unjust happenings we still defend
Arguing that politics should have no place
Whilst austerity has left many dead
They will have all died in vain
Instead of funding we clap with feigned support
To drown out the cries of those in need we ignored
When it mattered the most we chose convenience
We lapped up the lies and wallowed in ignorance
We have faced failure, by those with power
In trouble we cannot absolve the blame
We must recognise, the faults in our lives
We cannot depend on vague slogans for change
Our hands soak in the blood
Of the lost ones we loved
We are culpable, all accountable
For the state that we've let the world become
