Solidarity blues,Used and abused,Turn to the bottle,Turn to the booze.The game is rigged,Newsflash:We lose. Solidarity blues,Tyrannical minority,Mechanical majority,Maniacal society.Force Fed Austerity.Slavish Severity. Solidarity BluesFabricated Unity,Dogmatic Disparity,Performative polarity,Paralyzed charity,Post-nut clarity. Solidarity Blues,Suicide soaked society,Train wrecked,Neglected rejected,Revolution dejected,Rebellion directed.Jackboot inspected,Dread resurrected,Defiance expected. Solidarity Blues,Still I rise.Still I lose.

Hope lies dead.

Dreaming of a life we can never attain Drinking in big brother convincing ourselves sane Brainwashed on reality TV, fame aint setting in Where did it go wrong, where did it begin? Brought up to believe the world could be ours Told to constantly keep looking at the stars Now it has turned to ash

Take a walk through my town Down the dark and dirty paths We got no money for street lights There are no wages for street cleaners Peer from the lofty lift tower heights Drink in the run down derelict sights Hear the dereliction of council duty Drunk on their neoliberal counsel booty We have been

It is calling me each and every day It calls me at night hard to keep it at bay When I am low and in need it is by my side Waiting to pounce when I lose my stride It stalks me in my darkest hour It grows taller and taller every time I cower

I shall rise like the phoenix in my hour of despair The wounded hopeless hero damaged beyond repair Discarded demented awaiting with bated breath My desperate final stand against the darkness I cry out a cry of shame resigned to my fate Swallowed hole by the sound of my own voice Naive in the illusion
