Lyrics
Can you see it in the morning; I can see the smoke rising
Observing societal issues in the morning, noting rising problems.
Two parties less choices, Crossfire in our voices
Limited political options with intense debates affecting us.
We can get ourselves in it, can we get ourselves out quick
Doubting our ability to enter challenging situations and escape quickly.
More copycat tickets, artificial competition
Increasing instances of imitating others, fostering unhealthy competition.
The wheels spinning right, the wheels spinning left
Symbolizing political divisions, uncertainty in decision-making.
The wheels start to lock, we can only watch
Helpless observation as problems intensify, losing control.
We do what we're sold, choked out by our own
Conforming to societal expectations, suffocated by our choices.
Rivers we could cross, we can only watch
Potential solutions blocked, unable to overcome obstacles.
Now we can only watch
Emphasizing the current state of passive observation.
See karma left a present, now we're eating what we stepped in
Negative consequences of past actions catching up, facing repercussions.
Never ending in a held breath, always wrong guessing what's next
Continuous challenges with unpredictable outcomes, constant uncertainty.
Is the ballot just a wish list, do we really make a difference
Questioning the efficacy of voting, doubting its impact on change.
I've been feeling independent, with the laws you've been breaking
Feeling disconnected from authority due to their disregard for laws.
The wheels spinning right, the wheels spinning left
Reiteration of political divisions and stagnant decision-making.
The wheels start to lock, we can only watch
Helplessly witnessing problems intensify without effective action.
We do what we're sold, choked out by our own
Adhering to societal norms, suffering from self-imposed restrictions.
Rivers we could cross, we can only watch
Blocked opportunities for progress, constrained by societal limitations.
Now we can only watch, now we can only watch
Emphasizing the current state of passive observation, echoing line 10.
