about

A political fable written during the second Bush administration.

lyrics

Here we are
in a tale of our own making.
Fooled ourselves before, but there’s no longer any doubt that the wolf is at the door, but he’s inside looking out.
How did it turn out this way?
What happened to our happy ending?

Here we are
in a bargain with the devil
Did we think that he’d protect us from the terrors of the night? Once invited in, he plundered everything in sight. Still we look the other way.
How long can we go on pretending?

Sleeping ones, awake
Open up your eyes
Don’t let yourself be swayed by promises and lies
Admit we’ve been betrayed by a wolf in lamb’s disguise

Sleeping ones, awake
Don’t be fooled again
How little it would take to change the world you’re in
Just the touch of a button, just the stroke of a pen
