American Music Club - United Kingdom lyrics

Child keeps its toys hidden away Till it wants to break them Take your share and go away Make sure you get the last word Sit back out of harm's reach Watch the little cup of poison Chasing its own tail around and around Until it's exhausted at its wits end United kingdom I try my best i wait for you to nail me Now i try and never do Anything they tell me 'cause waiting about an inch Under human nature Tragedies and comedies And a touching sense of failure United kingdom When you held me in your arms At the limits of your patience I knew i'd always lose Every scene of violence When you held me in your arms Why didn't you want me When you held me in your arms Why didn't you touch me Well i used to know how To slip through your blind spot And now i just watch myself Set the alarms off I'm happier now in my shame And don't look to you for anything United kingdom
