Waiting On The Wire

Your tireless work counts for little here
It's so unbelievable
All's fair with favour for a favour
And they must surely know
And they should really know

Running on and on
I'm all out of humour
And ready to rest
The new price of freedom
Seems more than than I've got
It's strange how the new rule
Seems destined for no goal
And what's this sound ringing in our ears?
It's just the sound of the wars
We don't want to fight for
Power hungry star eyed prefects
Shoot blindly from their desks
Pushing the wheel in a backward motion
Leading us all somewhere
But it's nowhere
Nowhere but over the edge
And they must surely know
They should really know
It's nowhere in particular
Nowhere in particular
But swinging on a pocket watch
It's guns that keep us from sleep

Running on on and on
I’m all out of humour
And ready to rest and rest
