Tokyo Blade - Papering The Cracks lyrics

[Boulton/Marsh/Wiggins] The man is on the TV., in the papers, on the radio Telling me that things are fine, well his world ain't the same as mine Everyone you know and love is on the unemployment line Its a price worth [paying Do you think he would take their place Keep papering the cracks Too scared to venture out into a world that they once fought to free The old folks lock themselves away, afraid to step outside the door Can't let the kids out of your sight, ain't safe to walk the streets at night Cant be the things you want to be, and things ain't what they ought to be Keep papering the cracks We trusted you, you drank the wine You've got to make a stand, cant keep washing your hands But you ain't got a plan, just keep papering the cracks Champagne serenade, you dance and say we've got it made You're singing us a loony tune, you just keep papering the cracks What do you do, what do you say, you tell us there's no better way Move in a little closer then you hit us with a s**er punch Fighting wars that cant be won, screaming hordes, champagne l'amour We're trampled in the dust and our dreams have all been turned to rust Keep papering the cracks Cant stop the world you cant get off, acid rain and acid tongues Polluted air, polluted minds, no-one cares and that's the crime Who's the hero, who's the villain, who is who, who the hell are you and I It ain't too late, we gotta keep the faith, but you keep papering the cracks
