I love the feel of the original version, and the official video perfectly captures that enigmatic sense of foreboding and sinister creeping.
I overheard some people at work, inspired to cover this tune by how fatalistic and pessimistic they were being, and that sadly they may well be right.
We bury our heads, knowing how things are
We're out of control, no one's noticed yet
Corruption so widespread, we no longer see it
We murder our children, will eat our dead
We poison our planet, for profit and greed
It doesn't have to be like this, may not be too late.
Chorus
If there's anyone up there
Anyone at all
Can you hear, is that voice mail?
Now would be a good time...
We lost paradise, but we're still in Eden
You think I'm wrong? Open your eyes
It suits those at the top, to keep us here
A need to control, born out of fear
So the question to ask: is my conscience clear?
For you govern yourself, can you face the mirror?
Chorus
