Tales From Beyond

A new diversion demands my attention
 Another narrative will go unquestioned
 Who tells the story and why does it need you?
 When will your radicals have something to prove to you?
 Still learning, educating yourself
 When will knowledge become practice?
 Part-time radicals with nothing to lose
 Re-educate, unlearn, rinse and reuse

 Part-time radicals with nothing to lose

 You resist within the system
 Liberation through the state
 Let things slide for the sake of peace

 Let things slide for the sake of peace
 Hollow tears when they're on their knees
 You resist within the system
 Liberation through the state
 Your selfish opportunism
 And corrosive self-interest
 As you advocate universal human rights
 Within a framework created by people you claim to oppose
 And it's not better than nothing, you hold us back
 And make us too comfortable and complacent in fact
 It's time you stopped, put the flag down
 Declared your self-interest and stepped to one side of the line
 Between ideological struggle
 And unprincipled peace and stagnation
