these are the dark ages
my time has come at last
i may or may not be
equal to the task
i’ve lived with barren scenes
unsettling dreams
a test i somehow failed to pass
are these the dark ages
i’m afraid to ask
still i knew it would happen
so i am right in time
i am the voice of reason
here to reclaim what is mine
this is where i stand
where i draw the line
discontented in a white man’ s town
these are the dark ages
i’ve come to realise
how an honest mistake
exacts the highest price
we’re a handsome pair
crying life ’s not fair
‘cause life will cut us down a size
these are the dark ages
we schould not be surprised
still i knew it would happen
so i am right in time
if tricks add up to treason
i’m guilty by design
still voting out of fear
still voting blind
discontented in a white man’ s town
