Days are darkened by the demons

Nights are worried by the knights

Words are lost behind the shouting

Reasons hide in Black & White

Out of phase with inner meanings

Discord dancing, shadows dark

Troubled waters breach the fountain

Brittle kindling finds a spark.

Logic twists the wonky headlines

Throwing blame towards the hate

People seeking easy answers

Free the horses, shut the gate.

Meanwhile puppet-masters pulling

Strings in boardrooms late at night

Offshore taxes sharpen axes

Profiteering from the Right

Simple answers nothing simple

Complicated reasons why

Life unequal fuels the sequel

Tooth for tooth and eye for eye.

Turn the page and watch as rage

Erupting from an angry crowd

Sunken the Boats on island moats

Make Stephen Yaxley Lennon proud.

Sharpened blades and angry words

Are forged in chambered echo lies

Flags revealing deeper feelings

Tattered truth in cluttered skies.

Days are darkened by the demons

Nights are worried by the knights

Words are lost behind the shouting

Reasons hide in Black & White
