Wire - Adapt lyrics

The tide is high, sandbag your street! Converging, swelling channels meet The torrent roars, banks are breached Stay calm, be cool, a part at least The brakes are on, controlled retreat Quick-go-slowly, heart valve weak Fairness flounders, sincere cheats Disgraced champions, taste defeat Beware the timely statement leak... The trigger is the price of meat Barricade your first floor doors Evacuate your sick and poor Be larger picture, stronger, deep Be good, be bad, be more, elite... A prince of bread, a pint of peace In Middle Earth, in Middle East Go east, go north, go south, go west Leave mouths open, with your best Adapt to change, stay unimpressed Adopt: 'Chekov', to family crest
