Programme - The Only Ones

It’s a different kind of life when you’re on this programme

You see things you never thought could be seen

You get the other side of life when you’re on this programme, baby

Things get dirty when they look so clean

I don’t even recall the things that you accuse me of

I feel so far away from everything I ever loved, I ever loved

You know you’ve gotta sweat when you’re on this programme, honey

The lights are glaring, it’s a cold heat

We’re all God’s children and we got

A constant struggle in the face of defeat

I’ve been having bad dreams, I can’t get to sleep at night

I feel so far away, I’m walking on the edge of time, the edge of time

Well look at him he’s hurt now, he’s bleeding

The curious will come and see him

They fantasise about his life

They see humour in him

Every time you drop your guard, you find it twice as hard

To reconcile your feelings

You can always justify, all the times you’ve almost died

Say life ain’t that appealing

That’s the last you’ll get, trapped by life, you

Prefer existence on the other side

The local residents are all white

And their morals are well-defined
