Words & Music by Jameson Fox Devoted network broadcast news Is nothing but a ruse A marker on the trail The timber for the rail Impartial message without views Is something that we lose A gust to blow the sail Keeps all of us in jail I’m caught in the fire Don’t you think I ought to speak out It’s taken far too long to shout I’m caught in the fire Don’t you think I ought to speak out It’s taken far too long to shout (piano solo after chorus) Artisan making justice bread Keeps protest framers fed A sign made for the show So more of them would go I’m caught in the fire Don’t you think I ought to speak out It’s taken far too long to shout I’m caught in the fire Don’t you think I ought to speak out It’s taken far too long to shout The streets are collapsing, The lights are going dim Not enough to stand still, Our prospects looking slim Partisan naked leader trumps Doublethink fills their sump No time to leave the streets With no justice no peace I’m caught in the fire Don’t you think I ought to speak out It’s taken far too long to shout I’m caught in the fire Don’t you think I ought to speak out It’s taken far too long to shout The streets are collapsing, The lights are going dim Not enough to stand still, Our prospects looking slim
