about

synth.
my comment on some unhappy current events. together with a few wise lines from R F.

lyrics

pictures on a TV screen
furious people everywhere
crowds in a city street
throwing rocks..at the police
when there isn't any dignity
when there isn't any dignity
than what's left
than what's left
than what's left is authority

people looking for a better life
in another country
a better life for there children
are detained and imprisoned
but when there isn't any dignity
but when there isn't any dignity
than what's left
than what's left
than what's left is authority

"Before i built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out
An to whom I was like to give offence..
to whom I was like to give offence.."
that's what Robert Frost said
that's what Robert Frost said
and sometimes when we build a fence
all that's left is authority

when there isn't any dignity
when there isn't any dignity
and all that's left is authority
all that's left is authority
and people in the street
throwing rocks..at the police
crowds in a city street
throwing rocks..at the police
