Speeches - Faded Paper Figures

I’ve been trying to watch this thing

But the truth is truth is a bit obscene

If they said everything

Then they lied

And at the fall fire line

They bought time

On your TV screen

So some white-haired guy

Can give speeches

On and on and on through the night

And if you’re watching again

(I don’t know now)

It’s not half as strange as it’s been

(or will be)

Channel 66 and I still can’t see

What the things they said

Have to do with free

If we left everything

We’d be fine

At the last free side

I brought my revelation dream

Of a gun-less sky

And I gave speeches

On and on and on through the night

We missed the last peace train

We’ve gone insane

A radiation cloud starts to rain

And you hear speeches

On and on and on through the next fire line

They’ll buy more time

On your TV screen

So some white-haired guy

Can give speeches

On and on and on through the night
