recorded live to 2-track at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre, Dec. 22, 1990

lyrics

Concerned citizens barely amused by the news of the day.
Walk a thin line between madness and sanity.
I’ll try to explain:

World leaders demonstrate poverty of mind.
Rejoice in bittersweet memories.
Corporate executives our world do defile
And that’s just the way it is.

Locked in this oasis.
Never coming out.
Locked in this oasis.
You might hear me if I shout!

TV stupefies, entrances me to see the way that they want.
Give a damn. Failure. Uncertainty.
Won't break through this shell.

Locked in this oasis.
Never coming out.
Locked in this oasis.
You might hear me if I shout!

Honesty. Integrity. Compassion.
These words that we know.
Boundaries of acceptance hinder
And still the beat goes on and on and on and on.

Locked in this oasis.
Never coming out.
Locked in this oasis.
You might hear me if I shout!

Hear me if I shout.
