Believing is harder than it used to be
The evening reports refuse to say a thing
Effects without the cause
The editing techniques
Effects on everything
So shame won't come and lead to change
I'm ill at ease with what we're calling liberty
Democracy implies the right to buy the same things
Everywhere around the world
Our forces setting up economies
The shame will come and even change
The enemy is turning into everything
And what we'll see is the kind of fall you only read about like Roman history
With our own violence and our own misery
The shame has come and soon the change
