One day they will ask us alright
When you lived in the 21st century
You were civilised enough to know right from wrong
When they were pounding humans as dust
Where were you grandma
Where were you grandpa
What did you do to stop it
What did you do to end it
Cause the sights you couldn’t bear it
You turned off the news
Is that all you did
Was what was being told
Got you really sold
Were you weak
Were you ashamed
What lame excuses did you make
Did you have no power in their stake
Did you feel some shame
What did you do to stop the game
When they were pounding children to dust
Bombing hospitals to the ground
Were you awake or asleep
We’re you eating showering or scrolling your screens
I want to know what you were doing
Maybe to cheer your selves you went shopping
Don’t tell me you had no power
So you just went into the shower
Did you say you couldn’t bear it
this burden you couldn’t share it
You teach us right from wrong
So tell us what went wrong
Looks like that time wasn’t civilised
Speaking your mind wasn’t
recognised
Trying to fit in so you weren’t ostracised
Propaganda and politics was solemnised
Shame that you had to live in those ages grandma
Where morals were penalised
Speaking up was ostracised
Scared you would be criticised
Shame humanity was demonised
Propaganda made you mesmerised
Where humanity wasn’t recognised
Arsenal and manipulation were preciously cherished
Power and agenda was harmonised
Shame power and aid was sabotaged
Staging protests was criticised
Vocalising was ostracised
Cherishing humans was demoralised
Were humans of your time even moralised?
