It used to be the light we see
Would shine a little more
But nowadays there's such a haze
That no-one can ignore
It's kind of hard the see the shards
Of light that peirce the cloud
I would speak out ot try to shout
But no, that's not allowed.

I'd like to hide from every side
And let it blow away
Yet every time there's such a crime
They ask me what I'd say
I want to lie (sometime I try)
It's hard to please the crowd
"You know you can't" the people chant
Because that's not allowed.

It's such a deal to know what's real
The essence of our make
We're so inept we can't accept
The thought of one mistake
It's only fine to praise divine
With head and spirit bowed
They could be joint I try to point
But no, that's not allowed.

Technology is part of me
This truth do I confess
Our mobile tones become our bones
Without them we regress
Yet science paves a path of graves
The facts within a shroud
They'd gladly sell the ringing bell
And somehow that's allowed.

The Corporate plants perform a dance
Upon the soil that soaked
With filth and mud and dirty blood
The cloud of which I spoke
It's just a pain financial gain
Is that which makes us proud
I'd like to prove that values move
But no, that's not allowed.

I'd like to shout this message out
And find the bell that tolled
I want to live and try to give
For time is growing cold
I'd love to fly the banner high
To do what's not allowed
Instead I long to focus on
The lights that pierce the cloud.
