Lyrics
0:10I remember at school there was always some fool
0:12Teaching us about the past
0:14Pictures of kids starving eating out of bins
0:16Man we all had to laugh
0:18It's hard to believe we were told with relief
0:20It couldn't happen now of course
0:22It's easy to expound with your head in the ground
0:24I've since learnt that and more
0:27And you'll think you've gone crazy
0:29But you hope it will pass
0:31It's a sickening feeling maybe it won't last
0:35It shouldn't be happening at this point in time
0:39With these houses standing empty
0:45What is there to do I'm allright so are you
0:47But outside there are to be streets
0:49You cry a lot say 'oh my god
0:51But as an action it is incomplete
0:53Put money in the hands of those who understand
0:56Give shelter of the roofless heads
0:58It's hard to deny when you open your eyes
1:00And listen to yourself instead
1:02And you'll think you've gone crazy
1:04But you hope it will pass
1:06It's a sickening feeling maybe it won't last
1:11It shouldn't be happening at this point in time
1:15With these houses standing empty
1:32I cann't stay there
1:36I cann't stay there
1:40I cann't stay there
1:44I cann't stay there
1:48I cann't stay there
I remember at school there was always some fool Teaching us about the past Pictures of kids starving eating out of bins Man we all had to laugh It's hard to believe we were told with relief It couldn't happen now of course It's easy to expound with your head in the ground I've since learnt that and more And you'll think you've gone crazy But you hope it will pass It's a sickening feeling maybe it won't last It shouldn't be happening at this point in time With these houses standing empty What is there to do I'm allright so are you But outside there are to be streets You cry a lot say 'oh my god But as an action it is incomplete Put money in the hands of those who understand Give shelter of the roofless heads It's hard to deny when you open your eyes And listen to yourself instead And you'll think you've gone crazy But you hope it will pass It's a sickening feeling maybe it won't last It shouldn't be happening at this point in time With these houses standing empty I cann't stay there I cann't stay there I cann't stay there I cann't stay there I cann't stay there
