歌曲 | Once We Were Anarchists |

专辑 | Sleep Is For The Week |
The demonstrations got boring br /> | |
Well it was obvious that the government was ignoring us. | |
It抯 hard to drag yourself through empty streets | |
On an empty stomach and no sleep. | |
The shortcomings got clearer, | |
As the price we paid got dearer and dearer. | |
It抯 supposed to be a case of give and take br /> | |
Well I was feeling the give and making a mistake. | |
And I抳e heard it said that the unexamined life | |
Isn抰 much worth living, and | |
I抦 sure they抮e right. | |
But it抯 hard to keep on fighting the good fight | |
When no one else seems bothered, yeah, | |
When no one抯 on your side. | |
I抳e got friends who are bankers, | |
And it抯 an easy rhyme to call them wankers, | |
But I must say | |
I envy the way that they live | |
In a style that抯 all take and no give, | |
While I抦 playing the | |
Lone Ranger, | |
Riding to the rescue of six billion strangers, | |
Armed with only unoriginal songs | |
And a sense that something抯 wrong. | |
And I must admit that | |
I抦 tired of saying 搉oall the time. | |
But I must admit that | |
I don抰 really know what would be right. | |
And if politics is helping all the people then my political career is pretty fucked, | |
Because the truth is | |
I don抰 like people all that much. | |
The times they aren抰 a-changing br /> | |
Yeah, England抯 still shit and it抯 still raining, | |
And everybody抯 jaded and tired and bored | |
And no one lifts a finger because | |
It抯 just not in our culture. | |
Our culture is carrion and we抮e all vultures, | |
And no one seems bothered by this state of play br /> | |
It seems that the stench is with us to stay. | |
So I had a go, | |
I tried examining life. | |
It wasn抰 much worth living | |
I guess they抮e right. | |
And I抦 tired of fighting a fight that抯 not my fight. | |
But so is everybody else we抮e all on the same side. | |
I抦 young enough to be all pissed off | |
But I抦 old enough to be jaded. | |
I抦 of the age where | |
I want things to change | |
But with age my hopes have faded. | |
I抦 young and bored of being young and bored br /> | |
If I was old | |
I could say | |
I抎 seen it all before. | |
In short, | |
I抦 tired, and in short | |
I抦 probably fired. | |
If the revolution doesn抰 want me | |
I don抰 give a shit. |
