This Mess Lyrics

In the land of the breathing free, where truth and politics collide

Old men fighting for the throne, the light in the nations divide

Broken promises, and truth will die in disgrace

Ashamed while the world looks on, as we're free falling from grace

Welcome to this mess, how did it come to this

Voices trying to know, but they fade into the noise

Where's the hope, where's the joy

This mess we're living in, this mess, this mess

The walls they rage on, in places farther and near

The innocent scream out, but their cries for the deaf and deaf

The rise of the autocrats, freedom in oppressive chains

The free world watches on, silently they remain

Welcome to this mess, how did it come to this

Voices crying out, but they fade into the noise

Where's the hope, where's the joy

Can we turn the tide, find a new direction

Can we heal our wounds, with some introspection

Nations at odds, brink of the abyss

We're teetering on, in a world that's amiss

Welcome to this mess, how did it come to this

Voices crying out, but they fade into the noise

Where's the hope, where's the joy

This mess we're living in, this mess, this mess
