Someone’s on the TV
Sellin’ fear to fools
Teacher in the classroom
Makin’ stupid rules
The devil’s in the shadows
He calls your name
He says you’ll get to heaven
If you play their game
Dark clouds are gatherin’
We all know what that’ll bring
Dark clouds are gatherin’
We all know what that’ll bring
Dark clouds are gatherin’
To wash our world away…
Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes
Such a thin disguise
Spreadin’ propaganda
Spinnin’ truth to lies
Better build yourself a shelter
From the Third World War
If you don’t know
What they’re fightin’ for
Dark clouds are gatherin’
We all know what that’ll bring
Dark clouds are gatherin’
We all know what that’ll bring
Dark clouds are gatherin’
To wash our world away…
Rise up
Don’t let ‘em win
(To wash our world away)
Be strong
And hold your ground
(To wash our world away)
We know where to draw that line
(No way)
No tricky little upstart know it all’s
Gonna fool us anymore
Judas in the smallprint
Read on if you dare
Angel of the gutter
The enemy’s everywhere
From New York to Rome
Everybody’s confused
We’re paranoid and nervous
‘cause we’re all bein’ used
Dark clouds are gatherin’
We all know what that’ll bring
Dark clouds are gatherin’
We all know what that’ll bring
Dark clouds are gatherin’
To wash our world away…
(Dark clouds are gatherin’)
Don’t let ‘em win…
Don’t let ‘em win…
(Dark clouds are gatherin’)
We gotta know where to draw that line
(Dark clouds are gatherin’)
So you better be strong and hold your ground
(Dark clouds are gatherin’)
Don’t play their game just be yourself
(Dark clouds are gatherin’)
(Dark clouds are gatherin’)
