lyrics

I feel it in the walls
They smile as I’m declined
No axe to grind, I’m yet to find
An easy way to fall

I feel in your words
As bland as your cheap tie
No left or right, I’m yet to find
Someone that’s not absurd

I just find myself wondering why
This life won’t just throw me down
I just find myself wondering who could
Just throw me down

I’ve seen it all before
This inane rise to fame
If I were you, I’d give up soon
Find a job that you cant lose

And now your life’s become
An endless pantomime
Of talking heads, tabloid press
All words are left unkept

I just find myself wondering why
This life won’t just throw me down
I just find myself guessing who could
Just throw me down

I guess I should just find out for myself
It takes half the time but so much more!
I guess you should just find out for yourself
It takes half the time but so much more!
Now I find I'm right back at the start
It takes half your life to feel a part of
