Defective youth
The writing’s on the wall
Decline of the West
See the fallout fall
Violence
Banner of the tough
Politicians playing
Blind man’s bluff
~Chorus~
Now what, whose deal
What’s truth, what’s real
Turn it down, turn it off
It’s all white noise to m-e
America’s missiles
A superpower blessed
A hungry child is crying
Pretend it’s just a test
Russia’s got the gulag
Pretoria the bomb
Making sure the weak
Keep silent move along
~Chorus~
Defective man
The writing’s on your heart
Reality of evil
Tearing you apart
Hanging in the balance
You hear the Savior call
Make Him Lord of everything
Or see the nations fall
Now what, whose deal
He’s truth, He’s real
Open up, start to feel
No more white noise for me
