Dust in my eyes

Waiting in this crowd, this long, long queue

Brought here following their voice

They said a lot of things they planned to do

And that was all I had to make my choice

But when the first spell of the rain of power

Soaks the secrets hidden in the soil

The smell of misuse of power spreads everywhere

But that’s just the beginning of my turmoil


They’re kicking dust into my eyes

My world’s reduced to one hazy blob

They’re kicking dust into my eyes

I’m disoriented and so easy to rob


Bundles of bucks make great weapons for these hunters

Their tantrums are a show that’s open to all

No matter how much who’s disgruntled

They don’t want the curtain to fall

It’s hard for us to walk around and find some weed-killer

In layers and miles of red tape they have us wrapped

At every corner I run into a logjam

My insides are bursting but my voice seems trapped


They’re kicking dust into my eyes

My world’s reduced to one hazy blob

They’re kicking dust into my eyes

I’m disoriented and so easy to rob
