Wind of Change – Most Likely Written December 1993 (Aged 18)

Wind of Change

they had better call our bluff
that is all they can do
the world is so corrupt
hypocrisy must be on the wind
we need the wind of change
it’s anarchy again
things cannot go on like this
things cannot stay the same
power has gone to their head
i think that pretty soon –
life as we know it may well be dead
well, that’s what he said
can it be true?
just look around you
and i think you’ll agree
what you see is not worth seeing
it sure isn’t worth believing
am i the only one
trying to run up the 89 degree slope –
of destruction
the only disease in the world
that has no medical name
greed eats into your soul
then it will start on your brain
just watching the events unfold
the monarchy play at the palace
court jesters without the bells
fools without the frills
with societies ills, let them live like us
then ask them how it feels
will life still seem such a must
at least they will have real reasons to fuss




James Garratt – December 1993
