lyrics

The newsprint leaves a stain on your fingers
That you can’t get off with a flame or a trigger
And you can’t heed warnings you’ve only half-heard
It’s a punchline to a joke that nobody remembers

Lie in wait ‘til you’ve lost any nerve or pulse
While sticky fingers clean up the messy results
They’re so brazen these days, no need for a disguise
How does it feel to finally be a man out of time?

I can’t tell what’s worse:
The fact that it happens or the fact that you’re used to it
It all sounds absurd
But I guess you’re more complicit than you’re willing to admit
All black eyes get turned
Until they’re so swollen that they can only squint
It’s none of your concern
But the militia’s at your door and they want in

When your fortunes come to claim you
And they will, oh they will
Will your neighbours try to save you?
They’ll be too busy eyeing up the fresh meat, the easy kill…

One last thing before they put you to the screws:
Will you try to hide or just cower in servitude?
