*A Poem in search of music to be put to*

What can you do when your heart feels bleak, blacker than a coal mine
empty as a house that’s isn’t a home?
What can you do
what can you do about it?
Lay your head down, baby
lay your head down and cry.
What can you do
screw the authority
down with the majority
live the lie that East is West...
Germany is whole, Russia is the good guy
business is booming - no one bothers asking why
Look behind the mask
we're killing the planet - wasting all the air
chopping down the forests, burning the earth bare.
What’s goanna do
when all the oil is gone?
Rape another resource? Kill in the name of peace?
What'cha gonna do?
Lay your head down. baby
lay your head down and cry
