You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
You could say I lost my belief in the holy Church
(...)
You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians
(...)
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
Sting - If I Ever Lose My Faith in You

"La differenza tra dittatura e democrazia è che in democrazia prima si vota e poi si prendono ordini, in dittatura non dobbiamo sprecare il nostro tempo andando a votare".
Charles Bukowski
