Midnight Regulations

I find myself concerned For the common man, these days Evil are the minds That push the divide Forced to live a life In fear that his future is on the wane Midnight regulations Midnight regulations Burned his candle down Working to make ends meet But what can be done About the way things have become Fingers to the bone Ready to admit defeat Midnight regulations Midnight Brother! There is no charity For the common man When he is in need of relief And now he's hanging on To his final stitch of faith So, here's to all the years Of deaf ear fallen prayers Rich men behind closed doors Are trying to keep him in his place Midnight regulations Midnight regulations Oh, all you common men You need to fight for a new way Old hearts, we need to mend It's time to start again Palace walls dismantled Brick by brick, you will have your day Midnight regulations Midnight Brother! There is no charity For the common man When he is in need of relief They say just to hold onto your hope But you know if you swallow your pride You will choke Brother! There is no charity (there is no charity) For the common man When he is in need of relief (when he is in need) Brother! Brother! Men! Men! Midnight Regulations Midnight, Midnight regulations
