lyrics

LIES, BLOODY LIES

Sound of a chain drawn tight till it breaks
Sound of an army on feet of clay
Sound of a dangerous game that is played
Sound of an old man wheezing and grey
The more I know the less I understand

Leftover god-stains colour the field
Leftover babies all covered in shame
Leftover pipe dreams cracked up and blue
Leftover rules for a dangerous game
The more I see the more I don’t believe

Sound of a teardrop hitting the floor
Sound of a man who settles the score
Sound of a chain drawn tight till it breaks
Sound of a dangerous game that is played
The more I know the less I understand

I came into this world with a dream in my heart
But the odds were against me right from the start
And the lack of attention that caused me to fail
For years made me walk with my hand on the rail
Then you look back in anger at the things never said
But how can you speak when you’re already dead
Stop damaging children stop damaging lives
What makes you think fatherhood gives you the right.

I’m sick of my country I’m sick of my race
And Darwin the bastard put me in my place
If I’m a survivor there’s blood on my hands
And if I’m a survivor I don’t understand
It’s a time to be wicked a time to be bad
A time to go screaming and bleedingly bad
No time to get even no time to explain
There’s not even time to go fucking insane

And it’s lies, lies, lies bloody lies
lies, lies, lies bloody lies
And it’s lies, lies, lies bloody lies
lies, lies, lies bloody lies
