Walkin' Shoes

from Sugar Junkie by Crimson Hue

lyrics

Democracy ain't for you
Democracy ain't for me
They're watching everything we do
There ain't nothin' they can't see

The freedoms that they take
And the chains they make you buy
The whole damned thing's a fake
They got angels in the sky

When it comes to taking your cash
They put hole right in the wall
They got a way to manage your stash
To make sure they take it all

You vote for a guy you don't know
Who believes in things you don't
You saw him once on a tv show
He wants you to love him but you won't
Don't speak up too loud
You just might get a disease
Be humble, don't be proud
In fact, just get on your knees

You got an ass to kiss
If you wanna get success
An opportunity you can't miss
A golden chance to impress

Way back in days of yore
Democracy sure was great
You couldn't go from shore to shore
There wasn't time to participate

Now they make the news
Before it's even here
We all got walkin' shoes
There's nothing we need fear

If they wanted to mobilise
The vote there is a way
But it's no surprise
They ain't givin' the secret away

The boss don't want you free
He don't want you in command
He stands behind the stage of democracy
With puppet strings in his hand

He's got stuff he wants to sell ya
Got a good deal in taiwan
He's only too happy to tell ya
What's big this year in japan

He wants to keep you happy
Fat and full of joy
Better get your wallet out snappy
You can't take it with you, boy

Some days you feel so bad
You're tired of all this stuff
With everything you've ever had
Did you ever have enough?

You gotta right to live without fear
'Cos life is sweet and short
The path you gotta take is very near
All you do is follow your feet

We all got walkin' shoes
