The Reason I Am Here - Maxïmo Park

We will have to make a journey

Through the eyes of idiots

Where every problem in the country

Is blamed upon the immigrants

Not exactly high society

Neither tack nor sobriety

The people who never doubt

Are the ones I’m worried about

The people who never doubt

Are the ones who carry the clout

Not exactly high society

Neither tack nor sobriety

Way they behave, how they lie

Whereas I look for balance to strike

Let’s seize the day

Don’t generate antipathy

Obsessing over history

I try to lean but something keeps on stopping me

I think may be dignity

Stay home with me

You are the reason I am here

Stay home with me

You are the reason I am here

Now is the time

For opening your mind

Now is the time

For opening your mind

Let’s seize the day

Don’t generate antipathy

Obsessing over history

I try to lean but something keeps on stopping me

I think may be dignity

Stay home with me

You are the reason I am here

Don’t deny your pride

There’s nothing wrong with difference

If better than maleficence

Stay home with me

You are the reason I am here

Stay home with me

You are the reason I am here
