Maybe it is dangerous

To invite a stranger into the room with us

The noise is growing louder but i'm not scared at all



When there's no more money in politics

They'll be tearing down the union brick by brick

There'll be cynics holding clinics about where we have been

With every self-proclaimed historian



You know i know you don't want this

You don't need this



I'm shining the light on the darkest places

You know and i know we have to face this now

We have to face this now



The days are growing dark what are we gonna do?

The countries in a panic when i turn on the tube

So maybe i'll just wake up in the afternoon



You can change the channels on your tv

Push all the little buttons 'til your fingers bleed

But you won't change me

There's nothing i would do for you cause

You don't wanna see



You know i know you don't want this

You can't dismiss



I'm shining the light on the darkest places

You know and i know we have to face this now

We have to face this now

I'm shining the light on the darkest places

Putting the word out we have to face this now

We have to face this now



A generation taking numbers, making calls

As shadows move across my bedroom wall



I'm shining the light on the darkest places

You know and i know we have to face this now

We have to face this now

I'm shining the light on the darkest places

Putting the word out we have to face this now

We have to face this now
