lyrics

Race Against Time

Where has all the greenery gone?
You say it’s the future but I think it’s a con
The powers that be are not the winds but the gales of change
England’s bricked and tarmaced land
Is not sweet and pleasant. It’s got out of hand
Is it lies or replies but the truth never sounded so strange?

How green was my valley a long time ago?
Something your kids are never gonna know
It’s all about the family houses not a family tree

What was so lush will soon be so bare
It seems so Scarborough very unfair
Bricks and mortar where green really oughta be.
We can see through the ruse. Joni was right
Peace is the only thing that’s worth the fight
The trouble is the truth is just not a language you know

You twist all the arguments to bolster your cause
You’re no better than those we fought in the wars
You might want to go upstairs but you’ll end up below

I’ve still got my morals and my dignity
You’re lacking in both; you could never be me
I hope you can live with yourself and live with your lies
Your reputation’s gone, your façade is down
You wear a hair of snakes and pretend it’s a crown
It’s a race against time and you can’t even compromise

Look what it says in paragraph seven four three nine two
You have no rights. You have no say. We own you!
