Communications Unique CU002 (1989)

lyrics

Won’t you stay a minute longer, for the night is wearing thin
Portray a little stronger that raw emotion which we’re all missing, yea.

Don’t I crave a little longer now that The Rot has settled in
Time to brave this lazy thinking – unlearn the fears that lock me in.

For as my days get ever longer the more my leisure is being imposed
I’ll turn to heeding culture and start the fightback from the shelves
Where emancipation grows.

In the Vision Of The Future
In the Heaven Yet To Be
Forsake the power of Education
And be condemned to Drudgery

The people will learn to know right from wrong
The people will learn to know that EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

So won’t you fray a little louder, unleash the temper that’s so constrained
And claim in the name of The Original Sin
This Age Of Plenty to which we all strive and strain.

In the Vision Of The Future
In the Heaven Yet To Be
Forsake the power of Education
And be condemned to Drudgery

Forsake the Power.
