The Danglers - "Ascend" Live on WMSE LOCAL LIVE 2011.
---Ascend (Loveall / Gelting / Sparrow)---
Let there be an end my friends to the politics of blindness and the message that it sends
When the richest nation in the world doesn't care about its poor
They spin the press and don't address their reasons or their wars
Let there be an end my friends to the religious right and the morals it pretends
Will save us from the rapture that I fear will never come
Stealing rights from women and gays...at least we still have guns
We're drowning in a cesspool of such unforgiving hands
What's happened to this new world, what's happened to this land?
Let there be an end my friends to the mercenary armies and the greed that they defend
When I was young they told me of a red impoverished land
That spied and tortured people, spreading lies across the sands
We're better and able to what we have succumbed
We voted in these people and their lies on which we're hung
Let there be an end my friends to wireless tapping and the creed that it offends
We have a cozy green zone right here in our backyard
Full of angry people feeling tired and working hard
We're willing and able to work toward better days
But back off from that oil boys and end your killing ways
