Rational Lyrics

Today I tried like hell to clear my head of troubled times 

But I couldn't stop the desparation fighting for my life

Never held illusions, never fallen on pretense 

While I worried how to make the rent, they put a bullet in your head 


Saro-wiwa, when will this struggle end?

Losing faith in my convictions and the words that I have read 

Saro-wiwa, each day so many lies

Conscience traded on the market while the poor are left to die 


Today my courage failing as the bills replace the lines 

That used to give me so much hope for stories to survive 

Today I felt like dying as I read those lines again 

Apocalypse or jubilee, I just want to see the end 


Zapatista, they tried to tell us that 

The future holds out no more promises and history's reached the end 

Zapatista, when will this struggle end?

Losing faith in my convictions while I watch you lose your land
