Altering This Course - Rough Vocal Sketch |
LyricsAltering This Course© 2013 Gatorlegs & Starburst Who's lies are those assaulting us, is ignorance so proud? Smirking with intolerance, working up the crowd Caustic myth hypocrisy, skips from lie to lie Brutal rule plutocracy, swears to never die (chorus) Let us not turn back the clock to days of long ago Trashing hard worn progress wreaking tales of woe Rabid ideology rancid at the source Stand and fight against this, altering this course From sea to sea with arrogance denying what we know Deeply steeped in ignorance intolerance will grow Awash in xenophobia crushing rights full blown Hateful homophobia the vicious seeds are sewn (chorus) Let's not turn back the clock to days of long ago Trashing hard worn progress wreaking tales of woe Rabid ideology rancid at its source Stand and fight against this, altering this course Instrumental interlude (bridge) Like light there in the darkness, progress thunders on Consciousness arises, see another dawn Let's not turn back the clock to days of long ago Trashing hard worn progress wreaking tales of woe Rabid ideology rancid at the source Stand and fight against this, altering this course |
