Fireworks

one in a million

v1)
so where should i begin?
i'm still reeling
from this sense
of unrelenting grief

800 days of grey
i never thought i'd ever
live to see the day

people simply caved and
gave all their freedoms away

Ch)
the chances of dying are one in a million
but still they all fall down
they know you had a shot in a million
it's heartbreak for you now

ring a ring a ring of rosies
and still they all fall down
all they had were
pockets of supposes
and the numbers won't drop down

change)
and my heart breaks for you now
you were only trying to prove
that you were normal

thought you were doing the right thing
played your part in good faith
for all the world to gain

change 2)
obey the nurses as they dance
state psychology holds you in a trance
targets sighted, settled on group fear
masks placed on silent faces only to reveal
people duped & played along
who thought it was ideal

Ch)
the chances of dying are one in a million
but still they all fall down
they know you had a shot in a million
it's heartbreak for you now

ring a ring a ring of rosies
and still they all fall down
all they had were
pockets of supposes
and the numbers won't drop down

v2)
you synthesised a cure
to the way that our bodies can fight back
we all know germs are part of life
the worms that eat you
creepy crawling in the dirt

compliant consumers toed a government line
insiders run by those with stakes
in a global game of greed
the only lines they care about all the time
are the ones that rise on big screens
in the boardrooms
by leaders of the supine
sterilised sanitised chemical complex
anti-life careerist trauma team
