Now and Then

Now and then I want to scream and shout At all the empty faces In those right wing crowds 
 Some of them are just spoiled kids
 Some of them real psychopath Some egocentric little monsters 
or wannabe supremist YouTube stars 
as all the bait-and-switch liars 
make so called patriotic promises
 Of a land of milk and honey Without illegal alien terrorists 
to those who only listen 
to what they wanna hear 
 While deep down in their hearts
 They’re just afraid of their own fears Why don’t you hear the angels cry In desperation and in fear As this world sinks in a swamp of lies If we don’t stand up right now right here

 Now and then in 2021 
 There are still major wars 
for control of drugs and trafficking
 Or organised religious flaws

 Where corruption rules And governments are bought Who wouldn’t buy a politician It’s much easier Than you might have thought

 Why don’t you hear the angels cry In desperation and in fear As this world sinks in a swamp of lies If we don’t stand up right now right here While populists around the globe
 Real scumbags like the unreal Trump
 Cruise in their dreamworld, go astray, 
 Attract a following that’s beyond dumb 

it’s highly dangerous, make no mistake These embarrassing false prophets 
attract real scumbags everywhere And steal money from their pockets

 Why don’t you hear the angels cry In desperation and in fear As this world sinks in a swamp of lies If we don’t stand up right now right here Now and then I want to scream and shout At all the greedy companies Who give a damn about the climate change Or polluting the environment
 
they feast on what is left behind 
in a chorus of hypocrisy I wonder what is on their minds When they kiss their future kids goodnight

 Why don’t you hear the angels cry In desperation and in fear Cause this world sinks in a swamp of lies If we don’t stand up right now right here 
Now and then it’s plain to see
 That the Wall Street cats get fatter 
in a world of inequality 
where black lives still don’t matter Now and then I wonder why 
will we ever find the key 
or will we end up one day
 In a big catastrophe
 
 Now and then When hatred rules
 And no one really cares
 What no other protest song will change
 Nor will another trillion prayers 

 But hey, it’s alright Ma, 
it’s life and life only Why don’t you hear the angels cry In desperation and in fear As this world sinks in a swamp of lies If we don’t stand up right now right here
