S.L.I.M.E.

Lyrics

Outside conditions have tightened their grip on humanity
Newsfeeds inform of past horrors and those yet to be
Despots posing as optimists deal in mendacity
Shirking all scrutiny, gagging all who disagree

And we're still waiting...

Daily they enter the maelstrom that once was a sanctuary
Belated and distant we offer up coffers and praise
Unsung and underpaid, cheated of promised protection
Sacrificed innocents, killed by a moral malaise

And they're still waiting...

Six months of counting and keeping a ledger of shame
Don't tell me everyone's in this together again
Challenge their arrogance, tell them things won't be the same
Make sure our friends, kin, and colleagues have not died in vain

And we're still waiting...
