Living In The Golden Age lyrics

(Lawrence Gowan)
On their street, on their strip
No one`s ever free from their grip
You were weak, they were strong
An offer of security, a place to belong
Every now and then you`d hear a siren scream
Not exactly something from your mother`s dream
They made plans, they made deals
Marked with their indelible seal
Every day, every night
You fell their mission about to ignite
Never could convince yourself there`s nothing there
Now the holy face of terror is the one you wear
Another member of the lost brotherhood
You stumbled in the wrong neighbourhood
Swore you`d never become one
Now you find that you`re one for good
No escape, no choice
Lost yourself to the power of their voice
You don`t hear, you don`t see
Your mind`s a blank and you
Let it all be
Once upon a time I knew another you
Something must have happened
`Cause they`ve broken through
They`re your blood, they`re your kin
They`re in your soul like original sin
You`ve got them, they`ve got you
And nothing`s ever going to come between the two
Ain`t it so ironic how it all works out
Isn`t this what brotherhood
Is all about?
Another member of the lost brotherhood
You stumbled in the wrong neighbourhood
Swore you`d never become one
Now you find that you`re one for good
Another member of the lost brotherhood
You stumbled in the wrong neighbourhood
Swore you`d never become one
Now you find that you`re one for good
Swore you`d never become one
Now you find that you`re one for good
