  • Say what you believe

    Woke up this morning, I was laid out flat on the dark side
    With the moon and the room on the wrong side
    I took a needle, sewn myself right back at the seams
    I saw my universal gleam

    I see the wonder of life and look for the wall
    Just taking a walk in the sun
    In time
    In just a second like the ghost of a bad idea
    I feel myself getting the fear

    C'mon
    Have we decided if we like being part of the plan?
    The sands are shifting and there's nowhere to land
    It's on
    It doesn't matter if all the best tickets are sold
    And all the old stories are told
    I know
    You're gonna tell me that you hear every word I say
    But the future gets written today
    Yeah, the future gets written today

    Don't be deceived when our revolution has been finally stamped out
    And they pat you paternally on the shoulder
    And say that there's no inequality worth speaking of
    And no more reason for fighting
    Because if you believe them, they will be completely in charge
    In their marble homes and granite banks
    From which they rob the people of the world
    Under the pretence of bringing them culture
    Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them
    They'll send you out to protect their gold in wars
    Whose weapons, rapidly developed by servile scientists
    Will become more and more deadly until they can
    With a flick of the finger, tear a million of you to pieces Writer/s: Andy Bell, Gem Archer, Liam Gallagher
