The man is on the TV., in the papers, on the radio |
|
Telling me that things are fine, well his world ain't the same as mine |
|
Everyone you know and love is on the unemployment line |
|
Its a price worth [paying |
|
Do you think he would take their place |
|
Keep papering the cracks |
|
Too scared to venture out into a world that they once fought to free |
|
The old folks lock themselves away, afraid to step outside the door |
|
Can't let the kids out of your sight, ain't safe to walk the streets at night |
|
Cant be the things you want to be, and things ain't what they ought to be |
|
Keep papering the cracks |
|
We trusted you, you drank the wine |
|
You've got to make a stand, cant keep washing your hands |
|
But you ain't got a plan, just keep papering the cracks |
|
Champagne serenade, you dance and say we've got it made |
|
You're singing us a loony tune, you just keep papering the cracks |
|
What do you do, what do you say, you tell us there's no better way |
|
Move in a little closer then you hit us with a sucker punch |
|
Fighting wars that cant be won, screaming hordes, champagne l'amour |
|
We're trampled in the dust and our dreams have all been turned to rust |
|
Keep papering the cracks |
|
Cant stop the world you cant get off, acid rain and acid tongues |
|
Polluted air, polluted minds, no-one cares and that's the crime |
|
Who's the hero, who's the villain, who is who, who the hell are you and I |
|
It ain't too late, we gotta keep the faith, but you keep papering the cracks |
