The Idler - Degree Lyrics

It took a lot from me
Leaving for the summer
It was to some degree
A reminder of the past
The facts are evident
Ignorance has spoken
We now prepare ourselves
For a long and painful ride
Days are now coming where you'll have no say
Decisions made by a cold heart
Balances shifting, though all far from home
Rebellion pulling us apart
Painted in black and white
It's not a pretty picture
Still with the newborn's eyes
There's always room for hope
Cultural differences
An endless source for bloodshed
The young get trampled down
By long outdated views
Days are now coming where you'll have no say
Decisions made by a cold heart
Balances shifting, though all far from home
Rebellion pulling us apart
