Well, Iâm just trying to keep up with the endless ebb and flow
But life seems to keep happening even when my eyes are closed
If I were to go blind Iâd probably never even know
I mean I see the world through melodies and I feel it through my toes
People are like X-rays or like sturdy aeroplanes
I donât know how they operate but I trust them all the same
When I come crashing down Iâll only have myself to blame
You told me it would happen and I just thought you were insane
Well Iâm insane
Iâm insane
I studied for a test that I was never going to take
Believe the lies itâs easier that way
A handshake and one monthâs severance pay
I have a friend called Angus heâs the best thereâs ever been
Proficient on the double bass and arts/philosophy
He tells me what my chords are called, and when Iâm out of key
I love him like a brother and I hope that he loves me
Either way
Either way
Iâd take a bullet for him with a smile on my face
A comrade I can trust to set the pace
Makes me feel like everythingâs ok.
A government for the people is what they sell you when youâre young
But they forget the part where millionaires and miners come along
And try to sell us all the fucking rug weâre standing on
Whilst telling you which kind of love is right and which is wrong
Seems insane
When the future's facing backwards better turn the other way
And I suggest a subtle change of name / From government
To GOD DAMN WASTE OF SPACE
