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
