The Serenade Is Dead

[Verse 1]
She wakes up in the morning, the sun is shining in her face
Turns her head around, she shares the blanket on which the love embraced
She look out of the window, it's a lovely day outside
She tells herself that things are fine, he pulls the sheets to cover his eyes
The essence of the fresh air, the garden held the love affair
Thinking back their minds are torn in muddle and confusion

[Verse 2]
So far away another sits, who tries to make the best of it
He don't know quite what's hit him, it's another love illusion
He gazes in his empty room eyes fixed upon her picture
The loneliness, dejectedness, God, how the fuck he's missed her
His eyes turn to the window, the military roar by
He wonders how much hatred could evolve out of the sky
What God had done for peace on earth
What man destroys from day of birth
They are concerned with feelings, just ashamed to cry
And one mans plan to push the button makes others sacrifice
The serenade is dead and now the only questions why?

[Verse 3]
Why when we are young, we're told it's right to love
Told it's human nature and that comes from God above
As time moves on we realize that we all look from the pit
While a plan just hangs above us, that keeps us in the shit
Because the minute we are born, we're told what's right and wrong
Raised with certain morals, never mentioned in their songs
As we grow up we find out that the paths been neatly set
In a world of such destruction,we only can regret
Regret that is the words of it, as we look for our way of it
Why can't they understand we don't want any part of it?
The pain they create everyday, that just ain't gonna go away
We've got to stick together but still you're asking why?

[Bridge]
The system still stands strong
As our movement starts to crumble
The pressure we once held
Has just turned to a rumble
They've got us where they want us
And we all just accept that
Well don't you think it's time
We started to hit back?
They are the enemy, they want a rope around your neck
And if they will go that far, then what the fuck is next?
Forget the revolution, we've heard it all before
Heard of all your promises, of 1984
An impossible task, oh yes it stands before us all
Well maybe you'll believe us when your backs against the
Wall
