  • I will not use the word "sneak" in a song
    In an allegorical way
    I will attempt to articulate what's wrong
    Even if there's not much to say

    So what should I say?
    So what should I say?

    I'll be around
    Don't think that I won't, no
    'Cause I'll be around
    I'll be around
    Don't think that I won't, no
    'Cause I'll be around

    I will not use the word "leech" in a song
    In a metaphorical way
    But when the system is rigged to aid the strong
    It leaves in a terrible way

    So what should I say?
    So what should I say?

    I'll be around
    Don't think that I won't, no
    'Cause I'll be around
    I'll be around
    Don't think that I won't, no
    'Cause I'll be around

    When the times get tough
    With a government that's out of touch
    You know that I will
    I'll be around for you
    When the times get tough
    When you think you've had enough
    You know that I will
    I'll be around for you

    I feel for you
    Bound by the limitations
    No help for you
    Those are the implications

    I'll be around
    Don't think that I won't, no
    'Cause I'll be around
    I'll be around, I'll be around for you
    Don't think that I won't, no
    'Cause I'll be around

    When the times get tough
    With a government that's out of touch
    You know that I will
    I'll be around for you
    When the times get tough
    When you think you've had enough
    Yeah, you know that I will
    I'll be around for you Writer/s: Duncan Lloyd, Lukas Wooller, Paul Smith, Tom English
