The Tide of Our Times

This is the tide of our times

The last time a war was on ratings or soot

The network of businessmen clamored for more

"The conflict and competition on TV

Will keep them all watching for weeks," they would say

This is the story of territory

The target is taken

No one forsaken

Love take my hand if together we stand

Then we won't have to worry

This is the tide of our times

The minister of public surveillance found

The president of population control

The riots and regular robbing of stores

Have stopped coinciding with the call for war

We all march along

Our mothers, our fathers

Our soldiers comply

While starving at home

Behind enemy lines

Without knowing why

[Chorus]
