will it make the news?

lyrics

will it ever make the news that none can thrive with tyrants on the loose?
who am I to say to you the wildest lies are closest to the truth?
ballot boxes swallowed names then spat them out into the pouring rain
mud cascades into the drains we hope that no more innocent are slain
stole the crown with sword and spear shelter them so they can disappear
heat it blurs a sky once clear hungry prisoners crossed the line of fear
once elected, undenied our eyes stay closed to struggle and to strife
how d’you know who to defy when what you lack is access to the shrine?
