Theme
A highly critical track, featuring **David Draiman** (Disturbed) on vocals, focusing on political and economic conspiracy. It attacks government surveillance (**'big brother'**, 'Three letters groups'), the economic enslavement of the middle class, and the constant stream of **'broken promises'** and lies from authorities. The central metaphor is the need to adjust to a perpetual state of hardship: **'Learn to dance in the rain, the sun will never come'**.
Lyrics
Sentenced to work a **dead end 9 to 5**
Trapped in a **dingy corporate cubicle hell**
Then go to work in the darkness on the **midnight shift**
Any chance you get, selling gas at the corner **Shell**
**Three letters groups listening in on you**
Under **surveillance** courtesy of **Big Brother in your car**
**Drones monitor each and every move you make**
It doesn't matter who you know or who you think you are
You'll never see a ray of **daylight**
So **far in debt** you're struggling to **survive**
But you will break your back fighting and they'll help
Before you let them **break your pride**
"**Powers that be**" will never win; a **storm is coming**, get ready
You better **learn to dance in the rain**, instead of wait for the sun
**Learn to dance in the rain**, the **sun will never come**
Solo - Dave
**Down on your luck**, you had your hand out once or twice
But all you wanted was just a hand, they say
"**You have the right to remain silent**", so shut your mouth
Don't mention the **broken promises and lies of hope and change**
"**Powers that be**" will never win; a **storm is coming**, get ready
You better **learn to dance in the rain**, instead of wait for the sun
**Learn to dance in the rain**, the **sun will never come**
Solo - Chris
Never come, **dance in the rain**, it ain't gonna come
Solo - Dave
**Enslave and impoverish the middle class**
Make them dependent then **strip it all away**
**Al-CIA-da**, destruction, and **democide**
**Addiction**, **corruption**, every word's a **lie**
**Races, classes, sexes, religious wars**
**Destroy the family**, and what **love is for**
The **Fed and the Bankers own all the politicians**
May I introduce you to the **sons of perdition**?
Replace the **dictators Washington appointed**
The **Devil Messiahs** and the **dangerously disappointed**
They lie to themselves, pleased with what they've done
Soon they all will be **repaid** and there's **nowhere to run**
