Waiting On The Wire - Breathless

Your tireless work counts for little here

It’s so unbelievable

All’s fair with favour for a favour

And they must surely know

And they should really know

Running on and on

I’m all out of humour

And ready to rest

The new price of freedom

Seems more than than I’ve got

It’s strange how the new rule

Seems destined for no goal

And what’s this sound ringing in our ears?

It’s just the sound of the wars

We don’t want to fight for

Power hungry star eyed prefects

Shoot blindly from their desks

Pushing the wheel in a backward motion

Leading us all somewhere

But it’s nowhere

Nowhere but over the edge

And they must surely know

They should really know

It’s nowhere in particular

Nowhere in particular

But swinging on a pocket watch

It’s guns that keep us from sleep

Running on on and on

I’m all out of humour

And ready to rest and rest
