Life, you think it's all in your hands You play tricks, manipulating the band You want fame, well here you are in the track And all without a spinal column in your back You make waves by being chinless and weak You want stars unless they happen to speak You use blackmail tactics as part of your plan To undermine the battle of the working man So we just play and smile all day at things you say and do And use our little victories as triumph for the few, and that means you And the bullshit goes on It don't matter how far you run It's that old familiar feeling when they're all convinced you're wrong It's just different words in the same old fucking song And the bullshit goes on, and it goes You pass blame because you think you're immune And with your fingers simply be itching to reopen the wound You go on and on and on some more With stupid ideas that we all ignore So take your place and hide your face and we'll get on just fine Keep the distance, earn respect and we'll work it out in time And the bullshit goes on It don't matter how far you run It's that old familiar feeling when they're all convinced you're wrong It's just different words in the same old fucking song And the bullshit goes on, and it goes I want you to see some honesty, you'll believe it's true So come on open up to me like human beings are supposed to do And so are you! And the bullshit goes on It don't matter how far you run It's that old familiar feeling when they're all convinced you're wrong It's just different words in the same old fucking song And the bullshit goes on, and it goes, it goes
