Searching each day for the answers
Watching our hopes disappear.
Set on a course for disaster
Living our lives in fear.
Our leaders leave us in confusion.
For them there's only one solution.

Caught in the fight for survival
Trapped with our backs to the wall.
Are we just lambs to the slaughter?
Who wait for the axe to fall.
Our world is headed for [bad word] 
Our fate is in the hands of fools.

Shadows of the past
Victims of the future.
How long will it last
Victims of the future.

Into the verbal arena
Armed with the lies that they tell.
They're fighting for world domination
Backed by the weapons of [bad word] 
Is there no end to all this madness?
Is there no hope for us at all?

Shadows of the past
Victims of the future.
How long will it last
Victims of the future.
