Random Acts Of Senseless Violence |
| Under yellow light |
| Comes the face of tomorrow |
| Lights the fuse |
| Gives meaning to |
| All that was previously hollow |
| To a soundtrack of sirens |
| And mute aspiration |
| The express train to Heathrow |
| First of the morning |
| Is leaving the station |
| Our reckless sun rises |
| On the tip of the iceberg |
| Hidden in plain sight |
| Still alive and full of surprises |
| A generation gone soft |
| Over new acquisitions, that can’t take the edge off |
| I’ve put away my childish things |
| Abandoned my silence too |
| For the future will contain |
| Random acts of senseless violence |
| The target’s hit will be non-specific |
| We’ll roll the numbers play with chance |
| All suitable locations unplanned in advance |
| Someone’s back kitchen, stacked like a factory |
| With improvised devices, there’s bound to injuries |
| With improvised devices… |
| No phone-ins, no courtesy, no kindness |
| And the future will contain |
| Random acts of senseless violence |
| And it’s not just the boredom |
| It’s something endemic |
| It’s the fear of disorder |
| Stretched to its limits |
| And the safety of numbers is just a contrivance |
| For the future will contain |
| Random acts of senseless violence |
| Democracy is very… |
| Democracy is very, very… |
