A grungy style opening, with a gentler middle section and a pseudo-anthemic ending. Oh the happiness of angst!

Story behind the song
A modern day fable about the gits that rise to positions of power with scant regard to those around them at home & further afield.
Lyrics
Have you seen the devil lately? He wears a pinstripe suit
He spends his time in the US government, trying to look cute
Back handed deals, that broker his rise, quick within the ranks
An easier path to money, than even robbing banks.
CFCs, GNPs and war against the East
Make his cronies bay for more, it’s the company he keeps
Third world debt, is spiralling well out of control
He used the gun instead of food to feed the dying souls
His many offshore bank accounts and dealings with the Swiss
Hide his fortune, soaked in blood, from any Judas kiss
Have you felt our warmer climes as our ice caps melt away
Short term gains are all he sees, the essence of decay
Peace is just a dirty word and considered as fair game
Its not his fault, it never is, there’s always you to blame
He’s on a plane to London now and I will be his guide
Through darkened streets this taxi cab, an angel at his side
-----------------------------------------------------------
As you walk through the shadow of the valley of power
You don’t feel threatened cause this is your hour
But the hounds of competition scent the trail to your tower
You chose to take the sweet my friend so here is the sour
-----------------------------------------------------------
Take a look at my shadow
It’s your shadow
As the bullet flies
