Give and Take

The weight of the world stings
The lies, that injustice brings
Moral, cultural change
While those on high remain

Stripped of our rights
We strive in vain
Who then can we turn to
When they don't feel the same

You give then you take
Pushed aside, thrown away
To whom shall we pray
If those we trust we blame

Keep selling the news everyday
Neutrality stands in the way
No longer common ground
Agendas abound

No voice to sing
We bend then break
Who profits from kings
And all the heads of state

You give, then you take
Pushed aside, thrown away
Don't see things our way
What's yours to give and take

Contracts in breach
Betrayed our trust
Leave us to waste
Ashes to dust

You give, then you take
Pushed aside, thrown away
Don't see things our way
Won't lend an ear, no time today
We've lost our way
Shine the light, throughout the night
Deciding our fate
What's yours to give and take
