Modern Times

For all the boys and girls remaining trapped in their own bodies
I could cut your heart with a simple phrase
I could break your dreams make you feel enslaved
I’ve got the power it’s vested in me
And your choosen path I can ridicule
I can tear up your dreams say you’re acting the fool
I am the man I’m the man who is free
And your body and soul may be compromised
By the words we speak turning truth to lies
Your search for glitter is a stony road
All the dreams you own have to take the blows
From the simplest slap to a bloody nose
Your life’s in the balance from the seeds we sowed
Norine
“In the name of us we must face this night
We will build the fire of eternal light
For the day will come when survivours are none
We will walk alone in the setting sun”
And the dress you wear wasn’t made for your frame
But it’s the message that matters and we need to refrain
From calling down the heavens on your choosen path
For every man is entitled to choose
Between the five o’clock shadow and the makeup and rouge
And the girls can be boys without making us laugh
When the secrets out and there’s nowhere to hide
And the fractured souls are about to divide
Pulling to the left and then pulling to the right
Demanded explanations for the taken course
The answer not accepted for those who fear the cause
That’s taking us down to the darkness and the light
Norine
“In the setting sun in the name of us
In the name of us
When we take that stuff we can still be brave”
