lyrics

Second Term
May 6, 1991

another banner
a flag to follow
a speech, a song, an almost voice
I once would rise to follow you
but now I sit
watching as you gather your masses
waiting with scorn

when you started, I believed
all you said was right
no more fighting, no more war
no more killing in the night
where are you now
my leader
it's time to pay the bill
the grand story has come to pass
replotted

the cleansing continues every day
and what you said won't change this
action now
your people cry -
but back and blind eye
hide behind famous words
ripped from a speech writer
long dead

the gangs grow braver
kill in daylight
no one's safe at home
those you swore to fight
break down our doors

where, sir, is your sword?
set beside your close praying eyes?
in your sitting time
a million died
while you preached mantra
save our city
save our city
sage
