On the Graveyard shift where shadows lurk And the grey suit legions march to work again, oh again When the sky above is overcast And the sails hang limply from the mast again, oh again |
|
So let me tell you Each heartbeat gently beats each heart to stone You know they're tearing us apart with words I'm only flesh and bone But you can call me up today I'll run and join your masquerade |
|
Well there's revolution in the air You can see the changes everywhere we go, oh we go From the personal to the political Every situation is critical you know, oh you know |
|
So let me tell you Each teardrop gently drops each tear to flood You know they're tearing us apart with dreams We're only flesh and blood But you can call me up today I'll run and join your masquerade |
|
It's in the pages of any book They've captured it on film And you can find it anytime you want so use it It's in your twilight zone if you can learn to hold on, dream on Yeah, yeah, yeah Now that the fishy smell has blown away And the square heroes of market day have gone, yeah they've gone When we've bought their shit and paid our dues We can celebrate and that's good news roll on, oh roll on |
|
So let me tell you Each heartbeat gently beats each heart to stone You know they're tearing us apart with words And you can call me up today I'll run and join your masquerade Your masquerade Your masquerade |

Yet another song with political intent. A tirade on how the political parties, at the end of the day, all want the same thing. Your votes and more power. And how we foolishly believe it everytime.
