AND THEN? AND THEN?


AND THEN? AND THEN?
By GDW 

They say they'd look into it
And so we waited...
And crossed our feet

That crook who was a politician
Those missing millions
Those laws broken
Those lives that sank
Those jaws broken
By cops who were smoking

That plane that came crashing
Those ladies who were raped
By what couldn't have been apes
Those ladies burnt
By villagers vigilante
Those aliens that take our bread
Those fugitives who bought citizenships
From crooked selfish Ministerships

They said they'd investigate
They set up an inquiry shop
Then they enquired
They tasked the force to sweep
Sweep em clean
Block a sewer leak
They commissioned the Ombudsman
To go get em
Put em in jail

So they went to get em
And we waited
For thieves to be caught
For money to be brought
Back from dirty hands
To restore cheaply sold lands
For that reckless shipman
To pay for dead family man
For those stoned murderers
Of suspected sorcerers

They said they'd catch them
That justice would be served
They'd put them in jail
But alas
The justice league it failed

Still we stand and watch
And cry time and again
To them we cry

“And then? And then?....”
