Great British Mistake |
The great British mistake was looking for a way out |
Was getting complacent, not noticing |
The pulse was racing |
The mistake was fighting |
The change, was staying the same |
It couldn’t adapt so it couldn’t survive |
Something had to give |
The people take a downhill slide into the gloom |
Into the darn recesses of their minds |
I swoop over your city like a bird |
I climb the high branches and observe |
Into the mouth, into the soul |
I cast a shadow that swallows you whole |
I swoop, I climb, I cling, I suck |
I swallow you whole |
String out the drip-feed, they’re losing their world |
They’re losing their hard boys and magazine girls |
Advert illegal, T.V. as outlaw, motive as spell |
They’ll see the books burn. |
They’ll be 451 |
It’s people against things and not against each other |
Out of the pre-pack, into the fear, into themselves |
They’re the great British mistake |
The genie’s out of the bottle, call in the magician |
They didn’t mean to free him, devil behind them |
Devil in the mirror, chained to their right hands |
They’re the great British mistake |
They’ll have to come to terms now, they’ll take it out somehow |
They’ll blame it all on something |
The British mistake — when will it be over? |
How can they avoid it? |
The great British mistake |
The great British mistake |
The great British mistake |
