Caught in the Fire

from Twelve Keys by Jameson Fox

/

lyrics

Devoted network broadcast news
Is nothing but a ruse
A marker on the trail
The timber for the rail

Impartial message without views
Is something that we lose
A gust to blow the sail
Keeps all of us in jail

I'm caught in the fire
Don't you think I ought to speak out
It's taken far too long to shout
I'm caught in the fire
Don't you think I ought to speak out
It's taken far too long to shout

Artisan making justice bread
Keeps protest framers fed
A sign made for the show
So more of them would go

I'm caught in the fire
Don't you think I ought to speak out
It's taken far too long to shout
I'm caught in the fire
Don't you think I ought to speak out
It's taken far too long to shout

The streets are collapsing, the lights are going dim
Not enough to stand still, the prospects getting grim

Partisan naked leader trumps
Doublethink fills their sump
No time to leave the streets
With no justice no peace

I'm caught in the fire
Don't you think I ought to speak out
It's taken far too long to shout
I'm caught in the fire
Don't you think I ought to speak out
It's taken far too long to shout

The streets are collapsing,
The lights are going dim
Not enough to stand still,
Our prospects looking slim
