I can no longer count the dreams<br />
Inspired by reconstructions of predicted scenes<br />
The glass and metal fragments racing<br />
Through the pointless heat<br />
I can't go on believing this<br />
Have I lived just to witness the last decade<br />
Or a golden age<br />
Still I love the way this new wind whistles through my house<br />
And papers fly<br />
While Orwell's world is still in doubt<br />
And china shivers on a tray<br />
I am untimely ripped from all forgotten bliss<br />
But not afraid<br />
I can't go on<br />
I can't go on believing this<br />
Have I lived just to witness the last decade<br />
Or a golden age<br />
Could the waiting ever be worse than the shock<br />
Suppose the silver key survived<br />
To turn inside the rusty lock<br />
And you and I be found alive<br />
Crouching in our ignorance<br />
By children nearly twice our size<br />
I can't go on believing this<br />
Have I lived just to witness the last decade<br />
Or a golden age<br />
Till they eat their words some wild voice churns deep in my blood<br />
The prophets sigh<br />
We always said you'd never learn<br />
Then cynics long to break the brave<br />
I wish their mouths all stitched so their persistant hiss<br />
Is not obeyed<br />
I can't go on<br />
I can't go on believing this<br />
Have I lived just to witness the last decade<br />
Or a golden age<br />
  I do believe there are people needing freedom with good reason<br />
  Who will find another way<br />
  There's no disgrace in understanding<br />
  Why our planet is in panic<br />
  Then, while you worry think of everything you miss<br />
