City streets stark and bare
All is quiet, there’s nobody there
Curfew’s on and nobody dare
Leave their home, does anybody care?

People’s lives ruled by fears
No-one talks in case somebody hears
No-one laughs, they’re all used to tears
It’s been like this for too many years

The time has come
Decide which side you’re on
To show that you’re a man
You’ve got the right to be free
Of individuality

Nobody has fun anymore
Enjoyment seems to be against the law
Existence has become one long bore
The meek should rally behind the lion’s roar

People brought up on secrecy
Scared to look in case they see
Frightened of finding reality
Afraid to seek someone who could hold the key
