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
Burns 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 try 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 hold onto your hope
But you know if you swallow your pride you will choke

Brother!
There is no charity for the common man when he is in need of relief

Brother! Brother!

Midnight, midnight regulations...
