Pandora's Box Lyrics

David Francey Pandora's Box

What's like behind those eyes
That watch the weary world go by
Unnoticed, unrecognized
Unbowed uncowed, unbroken
Pandora's box wide open

Hasp and hinges broken
Pandora's box wide open

Amid the braying of the herd
And the steady fraying of the nerves
The din of a million million words
Better left unspoken
Pandora's box wide open

Hasp and hinges broken
Pandora's box wide open

When everybody has a say
When any dog can have his day
No leash to keep the beast at bay
No muzzle to get in the way

The measured words of discontent
Quiet voice raised in dissent
Wheels of justice badly bent
Bent and all but broken
Pandora's box wide open

Hasp and hinges broken
Pandora's box wide open

It's what I see, I can't deny
The evidence of my own eyes
Man exalted, man despised
Man all bent and broken
Pandora's box wide open

Hasp and hinges broken
Pandora's box wide open
