Shining Silver Light

Tension in the air
You can feel it everywhere
It's an egregious situation to be in
There's a ruckus in the crowd
There's a racket in the street
There's a funny look to the people that you meet
But there's an awful lot to do

They don't know much
But they don't care
'Cept they know they're not goin' anywhere
When they're starin' at the glare of a shining silver light
Shining silver light!
Shining silver light!

Dissention on the rise
You can see it in their eyes
And they're sayin' it's the way it's gotta be
There's a madman with a gun
A time bomb in a van
They got him on the run
And they're doin' what they can
But there's an awful lot to do
Shining silver light!
Shining silver light!
Shining silver light!

Confusion all around
You can see it comin' down
If yer really gonna face reality
It's a bottomless pit
It's a budget cut
It's a puppet with a purpose but he's off his nut
But there's an awful lot to do
Shining silver light!
Shining silver light!
Shining silver light!
Shining silver light!
