about

Alternative version of 'Staring at a Grey Sky' by The Municipal

lyrics

Darkness developing all around
As the walls of division come crashing down
New walls rise like a phoenix from the ashes
And they tell us we’ve reached the end of the classes

And I’m staring at a grey sky
Hoping it’ll change
Decades pass without a laugh
And still I feel the same

Economies collapse and famine threatens
Still they claim the virtues of capitalism
And still they produce more fucking weapons
It’s free market joy and nuclear toys
Global warming here we come
Don’t worry boys we’re only gonna’ burn

Bye- bye Maggie we’ll miss you so
Hello Tony have you got anything new?
It’s back-seat driving and men in grey suits
Can’t tell anymore whose red and who’s blue

Hostage crisis and terrorist attacks
Get the flags out ‘cause racism’s back
Love, peace and harmony are things of the past
First strike policies always work best

The masses line up, queuing up to die
In desperation some look up at the sky
Praying for some divine intervention
Praying to man’s greatest invention

(Hall 2007)
