CEMENT By Tom Jensen
As the blizzard blows tonight...
All you think about is staying warm
We unite to build a fire
Enemies become friends
And everyone survives the storm
For time has proved
As we've evolved and grown
That the truth is...
We're never best when we're left alone
If you wanna be truly original
Then don't be scared of a stranger
Don't you know the first smoke signal
Was a way to talk
And not a symbol of danger
Yet when it comes to truth
Some play hide and seek
They say the dead don't lie...
Well, that's only because
The dead don't speak
Some manufacture consent
Like they're mixing cement
There's always a positive spin
It always us verses them
The good guys are gonna win
The speechwriters have been busy
You see stars and strips blowing in the wind
Dylan warns propaganda all is phony
But just listen to them play our hymn...
Some manufacture consent
Like they're mixing cement
There's always a positive spin
So what if everything is falling down?
You get to build it back up again
I embrace my face....
Even though I don't like it
I support my race....
Even though we're always fighting
To some my life's a waste....
I carry on despite it
I know my place....
There're wrongs that need writing, righting
I don't know if I...
want to remember or forget
Some of the thoughts
I got swimming inside my head.....
They keep me awake
sometimes I can't sleep...
Been like this
for about a week...
And add to that about ten years
I've been telling everyone
Still no one cares....
