The Jam - Scrape Away lyrics

Your twisted cynicism - makes me feel sick - Your open disgust for 'idealistic naive' You've given up hope you're jaded and ill The trouble is your thoughts a catching disease Ooh - you need to get away - Ooh - you need a change of pace - Because you're all dried up and you don't believe You reckon i'm dreaming when i say i still feel real You say you work for yourself and its the only way But i look at you talking and to me you just scrape away - What makes once young minds get in this state, Is it age or just the social climate You're talking like some f**ing hardend mp You're saying power's all! And it's power you need! Ooh - you need to get away - Ooh - you need a change of place - Because you've given up on hope - You're emotionless - You've no need for love it's just hate, hate, hate. But i look at you shaking and it is you - Who is scraping away You who is scraping away.
