Hear the beat of despair
But it just makes me care
Care about the things we must resolve
I see only action by few
So I know I must do
Do something to make a change for good
The staccato rhythm of machine gun fire (oh-oh-oh)
The cassette machine howls in the midnight hour (oh-oh-oh)
Desperate expectations fill the hollow homes (oh-oh-oh)
The time is now
The place is here
Hear the beat of despair
But it just makes me care
Care about the things we must resolve
I feel tension, disgust
The breakdown of trust
Trust needed to gain equality
The staccato rhythm of machine gun fire (oh-oh-oh)
The cassette machine howls in the midnight hour (oh-oh-oh)
Desperate expectations fill the hollow homes (oh-oh-oh)
The time is now
The place is here
[Guitar solo]
Hear the beat of despair
But it just makes me care
Care about the things we must resolve
I see only action by few
So I know I must do
Do something to make a change for good
The staccato rhythm of machine gun fire (oh-oh-oh)
The cassette machine howls in the midnight hour (oh-oh-oh)
Desperate expectations fill the hollow homes (oh-oh-oh)
The time is now (oh-oh-oh)
The place is here (oh-oh-oh)
The time is now (oh-oh-oh)
The place is here (oh-oh-oh)
The time is now (oh-oh-oh)
The place is here
