We wake to our monochrome future A way of life dictated top down From a power that thinks it knows best To tell us want to think, what to do. Be comformist, compliant, collective. Or else. So History’s mistake repeats itself When will the lesson be learned? True power lies in being powerless It pinpricks the tarpaulin that suffocates opinion. An irrepressible vibrant culture of individualism seeps colour up through the drains to the city’s beige surface. It is irresistible for it is who we are. We swim in the ocean of thought it releases Our souls lie between the ocean and the darkness of the night sky There, we are untouchable There, victory lies.

Not again
We wake to our monochrome future A way of life dictated top down From a power that thinks it knows best To tell us want to think, what to do. Be comformist, compliant, collective. Or else. So History’s mistake repeats itself When will the lesson be learned? True power lies in being powerless It pinpricks the tarpaulin that suffocates opinion. An irrepressible vibrant culture of individualism seeps colour up through the drains to the city’s beige surface. It is irresistible for it is who we are. We swim in the ocean of thought it releases Our souls lie between the ocean and the darkness of the night sky There, we are untouchable There, victory lies.
