Lyrics

The sky is dark the outlook's darker
It's started raining fire and brimstone in the hills
It's getting hard to find safe harbour
When those in charge don't care if they passively kill
As the world is getting smaller
The lines all blur between heaven and hell
And I find myself idly wishing
We could leave it all behind and just save ourselves
We could build a flowering garden
Far away from all this tyranny and pain
We'd be safe within that Eden
And we'd never let it hurt like this again
Just pick a star pack all the things we need
And then drive away without leaving a note
And I know it's just a stupid dream
But is there any harm in letting ourselves hope
When the hooded man stands brandishing the rope
So let's raise a toast to the world and then drink away our sorrows
Make a stand and demand there's a better day tomorrow
Because if we make it so it has to be
We'll build a better world apart for you and me
Close your eyes and just imagine
A world without all of this anger hate and greed
Dare to dream just what could happen
If everybody got what everybody needs
If everyone was just allowed to be
We could be anyone and anything we choose
And if there were those who still might disagree
And try to dictate who we are we'd just refuse
Because that hangman's still there brandishing that noose
So let's raise a toast to the world and then drink away our sorrows
Make a stand and demand there's a better day tomorrow
Because if not us then who will stand and fight
We'll build a better world apart for you and I
And fuck the rest
