And you can't ever tell her
She will go with whoever wants her
It's a myth that they're selling
That there's one perfect fella
Take the pick of the cherries, go slow
There's a world through the front door
There are people who need more
There is love in the supermarket
I got hopes for the future
And it doesn't need money
And it doesn't need two-faced liars
One face is smiling
Telling us to be afraid
Painting a world of darkness
But the other face is hidden
And the eyes are looking back in time
Gazing out on a fading empire
You're alone in the dark night
Sitting down with your worries
'Cause your glorious youth got fucked up
You're a train in the siding
You're a car in a pileup
You should dance till your heart is joyful
I don't want to be aloof
Wear the glasses of untruth
I just want to become immortal
They'll take profits over people
They will make the country great again
Just as long as it's white and ugly
Fear the immigrant workforce
Fear the kids raised on the internet
They are scared if they can't control you
Are you living or waiting
For the time to get better?
Between sorrow and nothing, choose pain
If compassion was honoured
All our dumb human problems
Would belong in a bin marked history
We will shake hands politely
Feel the pull of attraction
'Cause love is our consolation
Well, the girl doesn't get it And you can't ever tell her She will go with whoever wants her It's a myth that they're selling That there's one perfect fella Take the pick of the cherries, go slow There's a world through the front door There are people who need more There is love in the supermarket I got hopes for the future And it doesn't need money And it doesn't need two-faced liars One face is smiling Telling us to be afraid Painting a world of darkness But the other face is hidden And the eyes are looking back in time Gazing out on a fading empire You're alone in the dark night Sitting down with your worries 'Cause your glorious youth got fucked up You're a train in the siding You're a car in a pileup You should dance till your heart is joyful I don't want to be aloof Wear the glasses of untruth I just want to become immortal They'll take profits over people They will make the country great again Just as long as it's white and ugly Fear the immigrant workforce Fear the kids raised on the internet They are scared if they can't control you Are you living or waiting For the time to get better? Between sorrow and nothing, choose pain If compassion was honoured All our dumb human problems Would belong in a bin marked history We will shake hands politely Feel the pull of attraction 'Cause love is our consolation Explain Request ×
