FORTY-EIGHT
Weighing anchor
Shouting from an empty vessel
Stay in, wanker
Because you think we're something special
No sore losers
Stinging from your cold campaigns
Cuts and bruises
Will heal, but still the memory remains
If you don't much care for where you are
But you don't know what your problems are
Consider looking further than your nose
Too much pressure
When all I wanted to do was remain
If you don't much care for where you are
But you don't know what your problems are
Why not put the blame on others when
Our own people let us down again
If you don't want to be tarred with that brush
Well forgive me if I don't care too much
Consider looking further than your nose
Lyrics
Not This Again
Take my hand in times of need
I'll walk you to the door and kick you out
If you think we're on your side
You haven't understood what we're about
YOU'RE NOT ONE OF US
Work will set you free
Unless you heal the sick and then it won't
We can't justify our lies
But who cares when our hands are round your throat
YOU'RE NOT ONE OF US
SO WHY SHOULD WE MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU?
WE DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING
SO YOU'VE GOT LOTS TO LOSE
I want to make this sacred land
Beg on bended knee
If you're not prepared to take my hand
You'll wish you'd never
HEARD OF MEEEEE
If you can't walk, we'll lock your door
I hope we can do this without a fight, because
WE'VE LIED ABOUT THE WORKING POOR
WHY WE WANT TO GO TO WAR
WHAT OUR OPPOSITION SAYS
AND FOREIGNERS, 'CAUSE
YOU'RE NOT ONE OF US
SO WHY SHOULD WE MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU?
WE DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING
SO YOU'VE GOT LOTS TO LOSE
We have sold what keeps you safe
And put the blame on you
AND ALL THAT YOU CAN DO IS THROW AN EGG!
opinions
I don't believe in the Apocalypse
But I'm starting to, in this toxic hellscape
All these fascists on their power trips
Stamping their feet, makes it hard to escape
Have you got something to say?
Well, I'm willing to listen
And tell you you're wrong
I don't care what someone believes
As long as their manta's "Don't be a prick!"
The second you step on someone weaker than you
I'm coming around to your house with a brick
You've got something to say
But there isn't a reason
You're wrong
This ain't the impartial age
That we thought we grew up in
You keep your friends close , and your enemy's toaster
That's how you know what side your bread is buttered on.
It Kills You In The End
It kills you in the end
No matter how hard you pretend
You are always going to end up surprised
Two people who
Don't know what they're going to do
But you're always going to be this terrified
Looking for clues
Looking for signs
Looking for things inside our minds
But it's nobody's fault, but time's
The sweet, secret peace
At the heart of your beliefs
It's a lie you hold too close for comfort's pass
I'm sorry, my dear
But it all comes down to fear
As you watch yourself decay in bits of glass
Looking for clues
Looking for signs
Looking for things inside our minds
But it's nobody's fault, but time's
Have you heard the news?
Another new crime!
It ain't nothing new, it's just our lives
And it's nobody's fault but time's
What's the point in a good time?
What's the key to a happy life?
I'm damned if I know, but I keep distracted
Two Hearts Are Better Than One <Sometimes>
The world's gone mad
I can't understand
How quickly it came to this
I want to hide in a box
And make myself lost
There's so much here I won't miss
To get through this reality, sometimes
You've got to play pretend
Alone in other places
Some of them are real
I walk with many faces
Forgetting how to feel
You know, but you don't want to know
Two hearts are better than one, sometimes
Secrets die
The keepers lie
So tell me now, what do you want to be?
Black clouds, in kind
Aren't far behind
And everything has defeated me
To get through this indifference, sometimes
You've got to play pretend
Alone in other places
Some of them are real
I walk with many faces
Forgetting how to feel
You know, but you don't want to know
Two hearts are better than one, sometimes
