Red Mist Lyrics

And I see the wealth of a thieving hand
As it bangs its fist on the ground we stand
All of its laughter is built on a lie
But somehow it governs us time after time
I want to stand up and accuse this beast
And smack its wrists for the tales it speaks
But somehow my voice is too distant to hear
And no-one is listening in
And I see a red mist
For the troubles that we know
And I see a red mist
For the hardship that we owe
And I see a red mist
Coz the future's burning up
And the smoke and fire is alive and well in the red mist
And I see the suits and their new green pockets
And wish for a b***on to push and just stop it
As folk who pretend to be human race
Apply their cosmetics to their brand new face
The course is curved and the lights are gone
I want to know why it has all gone wrong
But somehow my voice is too distant to hear
And no-one is listening in
And I see a red mist
For the troubles that we know
And I see a red mist
For the hardship that we owe
And I see a red mist
Coz the future's burning up
And the smoke and fire is alive and well in the red mist
