grant-lee phillips - great acceleration lyrics

Loading...

tyranny steps lightly
one foot before the next
you never hear the marching
till it’s coming up the steps
the temporary measures
of a nation in distress
a choice between two evils
one of duty or regret

and tyranny advances
like the darkening of night
and when it’s for the greater good
you don’t put up a fight
if blind to the beginnings
you cannot see the end
this is the nearsightedness
of ordinary men

and then a great accеleration
the beating of a drum
thе awful recognition
of all you have become

and tyranny speaks calmly
as it offers up a deal
even as it presses you
underneath its heel
a temporary measure
do you wonder what it meant
what you have surrendered to
without dissent
and then a great acceleration
the beating of a drum
the awful recognition
of all you have become
of all you have become
