lyrics

The tone of voices has changed round my way
And the flags have gone berserk
It flooded in on the roads and by-ways
On a wave of pain and hurt

The population are pointing fingers
And they say that heads will roll
The puppets line up for lord and master
It’s for they whom the bell tolls

But you see
It’s them it’s not me
I wasn’t made for times like these
Where could we find
Strength to be kind
They made a cage of their beliefs
Would that we start again but maybe that’s naïve

Old tape of fallen empire
Of a culture under siege
An apathetic and hopeless place
If you don’t like it you can leave

So barricade all the doors and windows
Of your large suburban home
Lay back and think of the Queen of England
While they tear away your soul

But you see
It’s them it’s not me
I wasn’t made for times like these
Where could we find
Strength to be kind
They made a cage of their beliefs
Would that we start again but maybe that’s naïve

But you see
It’s them it’s not me
I wasn’t made for times like these
Where could we find
Strength to be kind
They made a cage of their beliefs
Why would you care
Stay unaware
Your ignorance gives you relief
Would that we start again but maybe that’s naïve
That’s naïve
