Madman's Dream - Assemblage 23
Meta
I saw cities swallowed by the ocean,
I saw children crying in the streets,
Hundreds stranded on the overpass,
Bodies rotting in the brutal heat,
Cries for help fell on deaf ears, 5 days passed and no one came,
Pointing fingers while the people died,
I saw a nation hang it's head in shame,
Have I awakened, Deep inside some madman's dream? This is not my country, This is not what I believe, Have I awakened, Deep inside some madman's dream? I can barely recognize, The place this used to be, Anarchy in the empty streets, The law dissolved like so much smoke, A dying prayer for the humanity, That washed away when the levees broke, Have I awakened, Deep inside some madman's dream? This is not my country, This is not what I believe, Have I awakened, Deep inside some madman's dream? I can barely recognize, The place this used to be, A year went by and nothing changed, No justice left for the destitute, Abandoned cities, abandoned souls, Tomorrow's dream is yesterday's news, Have I awakened, Deep inside some madman's dream? This is not my country, This is not what I believe, Have I awakened, Deep inside some madman's dream? I can barely recognize, The place this used to be.
