there’s a very short leash and a very short fuse with the world on high command and a penchant to confuse something moving in the dark something moving in the wind and a truth both sheer and stark as promises rescind
and people on the march with a point they need to prove we need Mona Lisa now but they hung her in the Louvre
they tell me once upon a time but I know the real life tale it’s the outcome that really counts not if you try and fail and now the fuse is lit and the leash about to break and when the bomb explodes you can’t claim it as mistake
it’s bound to boil over been on simmer for so long not a matter of what’s right when you can’t prove wrong is wrong
so much anger in the air hostility and rage all the lies somehow escaped and they’ve taken center stage where the left and right converge and a war no one can win but when will truth be told when everything is spin
and if hope is never lost it’s hiding in plain sight when the ones that pay the cost have disappeared deep in the night and there’s no one left to stand not enough to just stay strong when might is never right but you can’t prove wrong is wrong
some see only black and white and forget all in-between when truth is in plain sight gotta keep your vision keen it’s embedded it’s ingrained it’s taught and learned by heart and planted in your brain and you learn it from the start
then I went on a search to find hope, I found despair I found doors and windows locked and not a key to spare
and the bell of doom is tolling feels like time is running out all the virtuous extolling don’t know what it’s all about
like chickens without heads running to and fro but without a destination no idea where to go and someone says, “be smart” someone else says, “must stay strong” but when nothing’s ever right and you can’t prove wrong is wrong
is it time to roll the dice start again, back to square one and abandoning advice where the hell is fun fun fun from every mountain top or every penthouse view it’s always a long drop so much you can’t undo
and I watch a new day dawn and turn on the latest news it’s good to be aware absorbing all the blues
there’s a struggle, sure and certain it’s the aftermath regime when you see the final curtain has faded like a dream where’s the leash who lit the fuse where do we go from here did you hear the latest news they say, “the end is near”
no one sticking to the plan no place left to belong it’s time to tell the truth time to prove that wrong is wrong

WRONG IS WRONG©
by rak
there’s a very short leash
and a very short fuse
with the world
on high command
and a penchant to confuse
something moving
in the dark
something moving
in the wind
and a truth
both sheer and stark
as promises rescind
and people on the march
with a point they need to prove
we need Mona Lisa now
but they hung her in the Louvre
they tell me
once upon a time
but I know
the real life tale
it’s the outcome
that really counts
not if you try and fail
and now the fuse is lit
and the leash about to break
and when the bomb explodes
you can’t claim it as mistake
it’s bound to boil over
been on simmer for so long
not a matter of what’s right
when you can’t prove
wrong is wrong
so much anger in the air
hostility and rage
all the lies somehow escaped
and they’ve taken
center stage
where the left
and right converge
and a war
no one can win
but when will truth
be told
when everything
is spin
and if hope is never lost
it’s hiding in plain sight
when the ones
that pay the cost
have disappeared
deep in the night
and there’s no one
left to stand
not enough
to just stay strong
when might is never right
but you can’t prove
wrong is wrong
some see
only black and white
and forget
all in-between
when truth is in plain sight
gotta keep your vision keen
it’s embedded
it’s ingrained
it’s taught
and learned by heart
and planted in your brain
and you learn it from the start
then I went on a search
to find hope,
I found despair
I found doors
and windows locked
and not a key to spare
and the bell of doom is tolling
feels like time is running out
all the virtuous extolling
don’t know what it’s all about
like chickens without heads
running to and fro
but without a destination
no idea where to go
and someone says,
“be smart”
someone else says,
“must stay strong”
but when nothing’s ever right
and you can’t prove
wrong is wrong
is it time to roll the dice
start again,
back to square one
and abandoning advice
where the hell is
fun fun fun
from every mountain top
or every penthouse view
it’s always a long drop
so much you can’t undo
and I watch a new day dawn
and turn on the latest news
it’s good to be aware
absorbing all the blues
there’s a struggle,
sure and certain
it’s the aftermath regime
when you see the final curtain
has faded like a dream
where’s the leash
who lit the fuse
where do we go from here
did you hear the latest news
they say,
“the end is near”
no one sticking to the plan
no place
left to belong
it’s time
to tell the truth
time to prove
that wrong is wrong
