| It started slow like a rolling stone,
|
| The signal for the riot had come.
|
| Suddenly all hell broke lose,
|
| No time to hide, no time to choose.
|
| Water cannon — run for your lives,
|
| Teargas stings your eyes.
|
| Shops with their windows in smithereens,
|
| Burned out cars and burned out dreams.
|
| And all we’re told is lock your door,
|
| Just turn a blind eye like you did before.
|
| While on the radio
|
| Lovesongs they’re still singing.
|
| And from the TV-Show
|
| Another lovesong keeps on ringing.
|
| Another city, another town,
|
| It’s the same old story all around.
|
| Again you’re told just lock your door
|
| To turn a blind eye like you did before.
|
| And on the radio
|
| Lovesongs they’re still singing.
|
| And from the TV-Show
|
| Another lovesong keeps on ringing.
|
| While on the radio
|
| Lovesongs they’re singing.
|
| And on the TV-Show
|
| Another game-show host is grinning.
|
| The sun is shining on a brand new day,
|
| Your wife comes in with the breakfast-tray.
|
| The coffee tastes good as you read the news,
|
| Police say they did what they had to do.
|
| And on the radio
|
| Lovesongs they’re still singing.
|
| And from the TV-Show
|
| Another lovesong keeps on ringing.
|
| While on the radio
|
| Lovesongs they’re singing.
|
| And on the TV-Show
|
| Another game-show host is grinning.
|
| Yes from the radio
|
| Lovesongs they’re singing.
|
| And on the TV-Show
|
| It’s our song they’re playing. |
