Lyrics The Writing on the Wall (Solo) - Matt McGinn

I read the writing on the wall
I read the writing on the wall
I saw the time we wasted
And it scared me to my bones
St Peter's boots are shaking
With the work he's taking home
I read the writing on the wall
I read the writing on the wall
I saw politicians curry favour
From people on the ground
By shoving fear right down their gulls
And then leaving them to drown
I read the writing on the wall
I read the writing on the wall
I saw the ones who flicked the switch
Send bombs across the world
For there's no profit made in conversation
Reason to the turn
Once they made their money
I saw every door was closed
To the families that were ransacked
And left to decompose
I read the writing on the wall
I read the writing on the wall
I saw neighbour against neighbour
I saw friends turn into foe
They were lost in augmentation
Which way their social waters flow
I saw the strong and the empowered
Nestle with their clique
And feed off their position
At the expense of the weak
Who point the finger at each other
Deciding who's to blame
When everybody's loss
Is a single person's gain
I read the writing on the wall
I read the writing on the wall
I read the writing on the wall
We all read the writing on the wall
I read the writing on the wall
I read the writing on the wall
