What's like behind those eyes

That watch the weary world go by

Unnoticed, unrecognized

Unbowed uncowed, unbroken

Pandora's box wide open



Hasp and hinges broken

Pandora's box wide open



Amid the braying of the herd

And the steady fraying of the nerves

The din of a million million words

Better left unspoken

Pandora's box wide open



Hasp and hinges broken

Pandora's box wide open



When everybody has a say

When any dog can have his day

No leash to keep the beast at bay

No muzzle to get in the way



The measured words of discontent

Quiet voice raised in dissent

Wheels of justice badly bent

Bent and all but broken

Pandora's box wide open



Hasp and hinges broken

Pandora's box wide open



It's what I see, I can't deny

The evidence of my own eyes

Man exalted, man despised

Man all bent and broken

Pandora's box wide open



Hasp and hinges broken

Pandora's box wide open
