lyrics

Everything in provocation
Everything in the name of what?
I’ve never seen such fulmination
Cast out with the fear of god
Caught right in the ammunition
Hold tight, pull your visor down
More guts than a politician
Less sense than a circus clown

You’re gonna be among the heroes
They say you’re gonna be the best
But saboteurs are gonna get you
It’s like a suicidal threat, you
Will be strung up with the rest

Lost your twenty-twenty vision
When you forgot what your purpose was
You don’t believe in superstition
But still you keep every finger crossed
You could have had it so much easier
You could have gone down a different route
Paralysed by a mental seizure
But every man’s got a job to do

You see the threat is right behind you
They’ll put a bullet in your head
Just tell me who’s the opposition?
It’s not a pertinent position
To keep appointments with the dead

Pride is a hollow token
When you’re in such a barren space
Please god let them never open
The envelope on the fireplace
Not sure if I said I love you
But I do and it’s from the heart
Another face on a tabloid cover
Another line on the tally chart

See the threat is right behind you
They’ll put a bullet in your head
Just tell me who’s the opposition?
It’s not a pertinent position
To keep appointments with the dead
You’re gonna be among the heroes
They say you’re gonna be the best
But saboteurs are gonna get you
It’s like a suicidal threat, you
Will be strung up with the rest

Oh my son,
I never thought I’d see you fall my son.
I never thought they’d get you
Oh my son,
What were you caught up in this for my son?
I wish I’d never let you
Oh my son,
I think they owe you so much more my son
I hope they don’t forget you.
