Can't Believe In You - Stiff Little Fingers

Don’t think of tomorrow, do it today

Let’s live our lives in yesterday

The lies you’re spreading were dangerous then

I can’t watch you spread them all again

You tell me we’re more equal then other men I know

But your advice just can’t be right and can’t be left to grow

It’s hard to reason, it’s hard to see

Why you never learn from history

You came downtrodden and you learned to walk

And now you want to march before you talk

You’re looking for a scapegoat a victim or a fool

And though you’re free now that don’t mean

You’ve freedom to be cruel

(Chorus:)

Don’t give me opinions when you can’t understand truth

I can’t listen to a word you say, you haven’t any proof

I believe in standing up for what I think is true

But you hand me all this hatred and I just can’t believe in you

You’re being twisted, you’re being used

And you’ll never see my point of view

You’re kicking back now but can’t you see

That what you’re kicking ain’t your enemy

You’re taking easy answers, believing age old lies

Though once oppressed you’re like the rest

And just as much despised

(Chorus)

Tell me all your problems, how you never got a break

And now you’re free, you’re telling me That what you see you’ll take

It’s all so stupid, it’s all so sad

That you’ve had to have the life you’ve had

That system’s gone now, everything has changed

And there’s no-one left to take the blame

You’ve got to start rebuilding, rewriting your own rules

Get it right don’t end up like those bullet headed fools

(Chorus)
