Weltschmerz Fish (Rock)

Please let me introduce myself, I’m simply a man of our time
Confused and bewildered, I seem to live without reason nor rhyme
Betrayed by a system, I’d given up trying to change
Let me tell you now for nothing, I’m back in the game

I’ve gorged on the knowledge, feasted on the digital feed
I’ve discerned through my wisdom that all cannot be believed
I’ve reached the conclusion that we have all been deceived
And that our freedoms and democracy are not what they seem

Weltschmerz, weltschmerz, weltschmerz

I am a grey-bearded warrior, a poet of no mean acclaim
My words are my weapons that I proffer with disdain
My melancholy aspect is something you can’t disregard
My motives you cannot question, nor my strong sense of right and wrong

I’ve formed the opinion that things can’t stay as they are
My anger and my fury trapped like a wasp in a jar
It’s never too late to make a brave new start
When the revolution is called I will play my part

Weltschmerz, weltschmerz, weltschmerz

There was a time my moral compass was spinning out of control
I retired from the barricades, dug myself a very deep hole
I came to in a country I once considered a home
That has been lost to the scoundrels and the rogues and a circus of clowns
