Levellers - 100 Years Of Solitude lyrics

All around you slow decay Wanna feel the sun of the new day Forget the chances that you lost Shedding innocence like falling dust All the things you learned too young The songs you knew but you never sung you Waited a long time, you wasted more Forgotten what you waited for Excuse me ma'am for being so rude Feels like 100 years of solitude But my mind is numb and my mouth's okay And you can listen or just walk away No solutions built to last Just your petty scores to settle fast The N.M.E meant nothing to you And the maker, well the maker of who Your walkman generation In search of sweet sedation While forests choke under a 'lever sky And the Exxon birds will never fly Excuse me ma'am for being so rude Feels like 100 years of solitude But my mind is numb and my mouth's okay and you can listen or just walk away We tried, we cried, we fell, we lied This life's like one white knuckle ride Crack babies born too young And L.A. kids who will dance to the gun so forget this so called dirt of mine It's just the dust and diesel of the pa**ing time It's all around you it's a tragedy,look So forget the cover just read the book Excuse me ma'am for being so rude Feels like 100 years of solitude But my mind is numb and my mouth's okay and you can listen or just walk away
