Ondara - A Prophet Of Doom lyrics

The pendulum tilts, the government shifts
It's just a new face in the same old abyss
The pendulum tilts, the government shifts
It’s just a new face in the same old abyss
The pendulum tilts, the government shifts
It's just a new face in the same old abyss

So you got your little brother
He's been reading up the New York Times
Said he’s putting twenty dollars on the
Fellow with a moonwalk dance

Democracy on the line democracy on the line
Pick a battle with a prophet of doom
And watch it all slipping out
Democracy on the line democracy on the line
All the hoping, it won't do you no good
Nor will the crying out
Are you packing up a bag
Headed to a Canadian town?
Are you racking up a debt
Cutting wood in Afghanistan?

Democracy on the line
Look at me, I don't seem to mind
Put your feet under the blanket and
Watch it all burning down
Democracy on the line (On the line)
Look at me, I don't seem to mind
(I don't seem to mind)
Put your head under the bucket and
Watch it all burning down, oh

Take some time off, ride a bicycle
Take a sabbatical, pet your animal
Put your finger in a socket and
Watch it all blowing up, ooh
Take some time off, play with your telephone
Learn the saxophone, pet your animal
Put your demon in a cage and
Watch it all lighting up

Democracy on the line democracy on the line
If you're clever, you know better
If you're better, you know nothing at all
If you're winning, then you’re losing
If you’re losing, you've become a gull

If you’re looking for salvation
You came at the wrong time
If you're looking for damnation
It's right on your next turn
If you're done up with the chaos on earth
You got nowhere else to run
If you’re waiting for a trip into
Mars, not in your lifetime, oh

On the line (On the line, on the line)
On the line (On the line, on the line)
On the line (On the line, on the line)
On the line (On the line, on the line)

Same script, different actor
Same speech, different anchor
Same script, different actor
