Lights are out Gla** underfoot Curtains, walls and carpets It's all painted black with soot But here we are Can't stop the sound Cause a melody's a lifeboat When the mothership goes down The sirens scream "Hey, here come the bombs!" We know we should be running But the song plays on We know we should be running But the song plays on The enemy is coming But we're standing strong We know we should be running But the song plays on Crooked smile And busted teeth There's a dozen missing hammers And a couple missing feet So hit the chords We'll find the key There's a dirty minor second Where a major third should be London calling Friendly fire Blackbird sings a sonnet On a rusty razor wire It's coming down We'll drown it out Doesn't matter what we're singing Just as long as we sing it loud We know we should be running But the song plays on We know we should be running But the song plays on The enemy is coming But we're standing strong We know we should be running But the song plays on On and on and on Can't stop the sound The song plays on Can't stop us now The song plays on
