We Can Only Watch

Can you see it in the morning; I can see the smoke rising
Two parties less choices, Crossfire in our voices
We can get ourselves in it, can we get ourselves out quick
More copycat tickets, artificial competition

The wheels spinning right, the wheels spinning left
The wheels start to lock, we can only watch
We do what we're sold, choked out by our own
Rivers we could cross, we can only watch
Now we can only watch

See karma left a present, now we're eating what we stepped in
Never ending in a held breath, always wrong guessing what's next
Is the ballot just a wish list, do we really make a difference
I've been feeling independent, with the laws you've been breaking

The wheels spinning right, the wheels spinning left
The wheels start to lock, we can only watch
We do what we're sold, choked out by our own
Rivers we could cross, we can only watch
Now we can only watch, now we can only watch
