The Distance - Laurence Fox

They have put something in the water

They seek a cure for the conversation

They stole a march on your indecision

And the first to fall is laughter

Just to quell the long offended

They seek to murder your opinion

The light has been turned down on the age of reason

Replaced by blinding fires that burn wild across the region

For the wrong to rule

The good must just stand idly by

So I need you more than ever

Need your hands in this resistance

If we’re going to go the distance

And if I ever doubt it

I think about my future

And if i want to live there

The world outside is wondrous wide for a reason

And if you can’t decide, you must blow your own mind for that reason

For the wrong to rule

The good must just stand idly by

It can be hard to know what feeling

What with all the lies that you’re reading

If it’s hard to say, you may mean it

Don’t be lost thinking about tomorrow

When today is what you are living

Make today your new beginning

The light has been turned down on the age of reason

Replaced by blinding fires that burn wild across the region

For the wrong to rule

The good must just stand idly by

So I need you more than ever

Need your hands in this resistance

If we’re going to go the distance

And if I ever doubt it

I think about my future

And if i want to live there

The world outside is wondrous wide for a reason

And if you can’t decide, you must blow your own mind for that reason

For the wrong to rule

The good must just stand idly by
