Preaching From A Chair |
| I’m sorry I don’t hate the world |
| I’m afraid that I’m not disturbed |
| I’m sorry that I don’t do drugs, I hope you understand |
| I can’t talk about my life in hell |
| Or a suicide attempt that didn’t go well |
| No life of crime, no misery, what you see is what you get |
| And I don’t believe in dwelling on the darker side |
| There’s enough bad news on the television every night |
| So I don’t need some little punk who’s the latest star |
| Telling me over and over again |
| Life’s such a drag when you’re in a band |
| What is it coming to when everyone’s talking through their hat |
| And we’ve heard it all before |
| What happened to honesty? |
| The way that it looks at me |
| Is everybody’s in it trying to get somewhere |
| And trying to justify it, preaching from a chair |
| Please forgive me if the clothes ain’t right |
| I wouldn’t want you hanging with an uncool guy |
| No flannel shirt and no tattoos, maybe I should grow a beard? |
| Don’t you tell me what I oughta think |
| Which cigarettes to smoke, and what I oughta drink |
| Don’t judge me by the way I look cos the clothes don’t make the man |
| I’m not about to be a slave to a book of rules |
| Don’t wanna spend my life trying to be somebody else |
| I’d be wrong to believe in every word that I ever read |
| You can’t fool all the people all of the time |
| And one man’s opinion’s another man’s lie |
| The makers of taste will be patronising you and me forever |
| And it’s always been the same |
| You’ll enter the twilight zone if you don’t keep your mind your own |
| I shouldn’t let it get to me but I don’t care |
| I can’t stomach bullshit, when it’s preaching from a chair |
| (SOLO) |
| I’m sorry that I like the sun |
| I’m sorry to say I don’t wanna own a gun |
| Cos if my number’s up that’s alright, sometime we all got to go |
| So many versions of the world outside |
| Reality is getting hard to find |
| So many people with an axe to grind |
| It’s hard to know who to believe |
| Don’t lecture me, until you know what the truth is |
| Take a good look inside you criticise everyone else |
| Your jealousy ain’t enough of a reason |
| To justify telling me where I went wrong |
| So don’t try to do it |
| Cos all you ever do is sing the same old song |
| And no one wants to hear |
| Preaching from a chair |
