Tracklist
Turn your head
as lawmakers spin another yarn to fear
How can they protect us
with pigs on speed
feeding on a dirty tax?
There's no one here,
who can't take the blame.
Swimming like a fish,
sinking like a stone.
Life as a prison,
all we have known.
"But it's not me"
selfish bastards.
They'll catch up with you,
because sooner or later they always do.
What's one more loss of a life
compared to the tragedy of celebrity heartache?
Wait for tomorrow (It might never come)
Today is everything.
How long will these heads stay turned?
How long will our streets be over run
by the people they sent to protect us?
They're born into defeat,
1 plus 1 means 9 to 5
Forced to keep the faith,
is it faith if you tell them to believe?
The people looking for an answer
are the ones causing the problem,
stop playing dumb.
Teach us to hate
then hate us
for how we were taught,
you've ruined us all
Oh father,
you left me.
Now I'll go and try and much harder.
Preying on weak minds,
you send them backwards.
And what for?
You're going to do it again.
Throwing stones through open windows
Hit and hope that someone was watching
A rock and a hard place, this time I know
We'll be judged on the ones that make it
The page is full of empty threats
We've heard your aims
and seen your methods,
yet still we live in pointless hope
A glorious waste of time we don't have.
We have to play, but we can't win.
Hold the line,
as soon as we break we're going to lose
Take my hand,
In this silence we'll slow dance
Choose another life,
Dreaming of a dreamless world
Never let go,
Second chances or sinking ships?
Take this page, rip it apart
Take this hand, and lose from the start
Fill your head, with pictures of exits
Emptiness, and a place to call home
Jump head first
into dead horse ideals
Screaming our lungs out
won't hide the truth
Preaching change
but no one's acting
A different clique
in the same sheep's clothing
Take another look
Open your eyes,
you trip you fall
into a space
where nine and five
don't follow you see
your mindset is numb,
don't look for answers
they'll never come
Just live for the moment,
before the moment has gone
You won't kill the cancer
that fills up the hole.
Tired of asking
the same fucking questions
So don't try to change me,
my faith is my own.
