SYMPTOMATIC REACTIONS
© Jerry Fielden/David Stone SOCAN 2024


CHORUS
Forbearing news of death and hostile reality
One can't get rid of a feeling of sad pity
We're on a path to doom in our once so proud city
Hopefully your cause will grow to show humility


VERSE 1
Scream at the fate awaiting for your kin
Your history is marred by your woeful sin
Addled by your nightmares, your nights are full of fears
No better are the days, you're full of bitter tears


PRECHORUS
Symptomatic reactions are evidence of evil
From the sludge of fright whence hellish landscapes are emerging


CHORUS

VERSE 2
As the law once said you do the crime you do the time
There is no excuse for behaviour so foul
If they lock you up in solitary you will howl
The walls will enclose you and you will sleep in the slime


PRECHORUS

BRIDGE AND LEADS


VERSE 3
March around the circle hoping for an easy way out
Your self-imposed penance is coming to an end
You must stop reacting to everything they send
The message must reach you of your freedom it's about


PRECHORUS
