Verse 1 Do you ever Stop consider Might I be on the wrong side? Take this further Is there even Absolutes in wrong and right? Chorus v1 Sometimes I wonder why You act so sure Maybe it brings you comfort To pretend you know? Verse 2 All the fighting; Wrong and righting; I believe it's all a game Maybe we could Be objective Stand aloof for just one day? Chorus v2 Sometimes I despair How base we go For we could be so much more Why aim us so low? Verse 3 Do you ever Try endeavour Stepping out of character? One is better Late than never To remember who we are

Verse 1 Time and again I wonder how How many times will I stand here Facing the end to begin again Round and around in this circle Verse 2 Why we are here remains mystery Even who we are we forget Try to make sense sitting on my fence Maybe there's no way to know it Chorus Two birds upon a tree Only one aware Why we have taken birth One can't remember Which hat will you wear?

Heading For The Hills 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Should BBC be neutral Objectively convey our news? Once I believed they did do But now I feel my faith confused I'm gone, so gone, so long I'm heading for the hills That politicians tell lies No one should trust is no surprise That TV ads beguile us That we desire things we don't need I'm gone, so gone, so long I'm heading for the hills The city bankers screwed us That bunch of prankers piss me off Exploiting lives for profit Trafficing cash they conjure up I'm gone, so gone, so long I'm heading for the hills

Verse 1 Judge me by the hat I wear Pidgeon hole my person Control the thoughts we think Convince us we are free Then reduce us to production units Verse 2 Sort you by your home postcode What your daddy's job is Target with stuff to buy Disguised as gold service Reduce you to A-class consumer Chorus But you could be so much more Why dumb you down? What became of god inside? Where are you now? Verse 3 Grade us by our skin pigment Country where we take birth Segregate species of life Do you think they are wise? Reduce you to just your outer dress Repeat Chorus Instrumental Verse 4 Any dream can manifest Why settle us for less? Can achieve all desired Why say you don't deserve? Don't you know how wonderful you are?

Verse 1 Big society All you've ever known Only decade old But you assume substance Carved in stone Verse 2 Soaking like a sponge Wet with social norms Never step outside To realise the rules Feed the lie Chorus Silent you comply In the name of progress Pay until you die Spend your precious time Verse 3 Infants in daycare Mothers must pay tax Sold as parenting Responsibly nurture Down the drain Repeat Chorus Spoken Section Good job you're eternal Good job this is just a game Good job you're a star Verse 4 Toiling 9 to 5 Just to stay alive Try to get ahead When all is said and done A lowly goal Repeat Chorus
