Sleep-Walking
Wire, Colin Newman
[Verse 1]
We're at a tipping point
The arguments may lead
To less cohesion
A mere collection of parts
[Verse 2]
Sleepwalking to separation
Who'd give the perpetrators
A second chance
If reason could prevail
[Chorus]
The narrowest vision
Often has the widest appeal
A lack of decision
Leaves us open for a steal
Left out, abandoned
We're less than ideal
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Whose rights to shout the loudest?
Should bully tactics triumph
When no one cares
And all stand idly by
[Chorus] x2
[Instrumental]
