Straight World Problems - Collapsing Scenery, Oliver

Who’s gonna save you now?

Now all of your gods are dead?

Who’s gonna save you now?

When it’s off with your master’s head?

You were thrilled to see them go

Now it’s you who’s in control

But who’s gonna heed you here?

You didn’t think that far

So who’s gonna steer you clear?

When you’re the one driving the car

You operate outside the ring

Wake up to find you’ve been roped in

So who’s gonna save you now?

A new era

Is upon us

So why’s it feel just

Like the straight world?

The past ain’t past, man

It’s there to taunt us

It’s there to haunt us

From the straight world

You cradled this young epoch

Swaddled in lamb’s clothing

You told yourselves there was no top

One even plane for all men

There’s no way to win this fight

Success guarantees your loss

As soon as the end’s in sight

The new boss becomes the old boss

You were thrilled to see him go

Now it’s you who’s in control

Who’s gonna save you now?

A new era

Is upon us

So why’s it feel just

Like the straight world?

The past ain’t past man

It’s there to taunt us

It’s there to haunt us

From the straight world

You set yourself apart from the start

You were never gonna be like the men you hate

You got yourself a feel for the part

Now you’re hanging heads from the city gates

A new era

Is upon us

So why’s it feel just

Like the straight world?

The past ain’t past man

It’s there to taunt us

It’s there to haunt us

From the straight world
