Lying Down |
| I was born and I was bred |
| I was reared and I was fed |
| Moved into the neighbourhood |
| Where I was bad and I was good |
| I fixed things for people there |
| I took them out I don’t know where |
| I coloured in their lives to give them outlines |
| I walked before I’ll walk again |
| I’ll walk along a line of men |
| And walk into the lion’s den |
| I think you know but you won’t say |
| Just what it is makes life this way |
| But I’m not going to take this lying down |
| Reach for the stars retch for the earth |
| We took the earth and made it worse |
| And there was never any doubt |
| We ate it up we spat it out |
| And still we love to say we did it our way |
| On this voyage of discovery |
| I’m blinded by the things I see |
| I’ve seen before I’ll see again |
| I’ll look along a line of men |
| And fall into the lion’s den |
| Now you can pray your head is bared |
| And I’m not saying I’m not scared |
| But I’m not going to take this lying down |
| I think you know but you won’t say |
| Just what it is makes life this way |
| But I’m not going to take this lying down |
