Lyrics Straight World Problems - Collapsing Scenery, Oliver

Straight World Problems

Who’s gonna save you now?
Now all of your gods are dead?
Who’s gonna save you now?
When it’s off with your master’s head?
You were thrilled to see them go
Now it’s you who’s in control
But who’s gonna heed you here?
You didn’t think that far
So who’s gonna steer you clear?
When you’re the one driving the car
You operate outside the ring
Wake up to find you’ve been roped in
So who’s gonna save you now?
A new era
Is upon us
So why’s it feel just
Like the straight world?
The past ain’t past, man
It’s there to taunt us
It’s there to haunt us
From the straight world
You cradled this young epoch
Swaddled in lamb’s clothing
You told yourselves there was no top
One even plane for all men
There’s no way to win this fight
Success guarantees your loss
As soon as the end’s in sight
The new boss becomes the old boss
You were thrilled to see him go
Now it’s you who’s in control
Who’s gonna save you now?
A new era
Is upon us
So why’s it feel just
Like the straight world?
The past ain’t past man
It’s there to taunt us
It’s there to haunt us
From the straight world
You set yourself apart from the start
You were never gonna be like the men you hate
You got yourself a feel for the part
Now you’re hanging heads from the city gates
A new era
Is upon us
So why’s it feel just
Like the straight world?
The past ain’t past man
It’s there to taunt us
It’s there to haunt us
From the straight world
