This one seems so esoteric that even I don't know what it means, Maybe it's political. That's something I don't get.
It is presented here with Band in a Box, Reaper, Cakewalk, and Ozone 10. Dave Bell of Blue Attitude played guitars, and I added bass and vocal.

Down The Drain
Frightened by the light, the
terrifying light,
we're never gonna see it quite this bright.
Someone pull the switch to get it black as pitch,
then everything will be alright.
Severed from the old, the new one's gettin' cold.
Swing its frozen feet into the fire.
Take away the new, bring the next one through.
Down the drain with all desire.
Let it settle down, and take away the crown.
We never gonna keep the king in check.
All the people cheer when pouring his free beer.
Throwing back they nearly break their necks.
Kingdoms come and go. Sit back and watch the show.
Listen to the strings and join the choir.
There's nothing to decide. There're no rules to abide.
Down the drain with desire.
What we do when we run out of hope decides what we will become.
When what we know now is less than we knew it makes all we did undone.
Sitting by the stream we hear a
distant scream,
and everybody runs away in fear.
Chaos on the path reveals some hidden wrath
that rises up when we draw near.
No help is on the way. There's no time left to play.
We'll never make it throught the mire.
When all else fails we cry, preparing now to die. Down the drain with desire.
