Spirit-Level Lyrics

I know it's a fucked up, unjust, bankrupt, corrupt world we inhabit
where the chances of equality are crushed by the vested interests of those who seek a short term gain

WHAT DO YOU SEE? – WHAT DO YOU FEEL?

I know we can all be fucked up, twisted, tilted, self-centred hypocrites,
but I can't let go of the thought that inside everyone there is a shining light

WHAT DO YOU SEE? – WHAT DO YOU FEEL?


Every dog will have its day and every rule will be disobeyed
I know that it's also impossible to live my life outside of the machine.
I know that everything I do is a part of the compromise that holds me down

WHAT DO YOU SEE? – WHAT DO YOU FEEL?

Every god will be betrayed
and every order and empire will crumble and fall to decay

WE WILL NOT BE BROKEN, WE WILL NOT BE BOUND
WE WILL NOT BE SMOTHERED, WE WILL NOT LAY DOWN
WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED, WE WILL NOT BE CRUSHED
WE WILL NOT BE BLINDED, WE WILL NOT BE LAID TO DUST

Every act is a mark of intent,
but the sound of indifference resonates as the sound of consent

I am the first point of resistance
I am the essence of resilience
I am the flawed and damaged spirit of the age
