Why Is Nobody Angry Anymore?

from Black Dog by Mark Ayling

/

lyrics

An educated opinion on events of the world
Your own exclusive clique, your flag unfurled
But you don't want to stir up emotions or cause any trouble
Just a laugh in the corner in your safe, protective bubble

Anarcho-anarchist, your fashionable self-label
But it means nothing when there's no agenda on the table
Your collective mindset has no room for individual thought
'cos it's easier to talk the talk than to walk the walk

As I stand on this stage and stare across all the faces
Of passion, of spirit, conviction there are no traces
You seem to have forgotten what your voice is for
So it's left to me to ask; Why is nobody angry anymore?

So we laughed and we danced and we talked until it was dawn
with gleaming armour and sharpened swords
and when the tme for talking was over and we'd found the solution
The stage was now set for our revolution

and the bands played on draped in satire
With a political wit like this they'll surely set this town on fire
But when it all kicked off, not one of them moved
I guess they've forgotten the point they wanted to prove
