you're gonna fix it from the inside sounds like just another way to say you couldnt cope, a noose or just a pretty necktie, and i sit back and watch you choke
said you were gonna make a difference, the only difference is you're on the other side, i guess the grass is really greener, i guess that check was really worth your pride
cos i would rather work my fingers to the bone i swear thats all that keeps me sane, and i will revel in the rubble while you catch the last outbound train, you take the cake i take the pain, of watching as another one who used to be a punk gets brainwashed down the drain
i saw you in an elevator, used to be a punk but now you work for city hall, you read my clash shirt, said you saw them back in 83 but that doesnt make us the same at all
you were gonna fix it from the inside its been a minute and the gears are still in place, cos some get buried in the landslide, but for some others thats just not the case
cos i would rather work my fingers to the bone i swear thats all that keeps me sane, and i will revel in the rubble while you catch the last outbound train, you take the cake i take the pain, of watching as another one who used to be a punk gets brainwashed down the drain
i know sometimes its hard to stick to your convictions, was it all just childish fiction you evicted and got over, and im not playing like im holier than thou, thats a weight that i dont need on my shoulders / but if it doesnt make you sick inside to see what youve become, then you never really meant it from the get go, son / if you could see the you that i see when i see you telling me just who the f*** you think you used to be...
