Accident Waiting To Happen lyrics

Artist: Billy Bragg Album: No Pop, No Style, Strictly Roots
Lyrics
I've always been impressed with a girl Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well That's the way I am, heaven help me He said, "we don't like peace camapigners 'round here" As he nailed another one to the wall And that's what gets me in trouble, heaven help me
Goodbye and good luck to all the promises you've broken Goodbye and good luck to all the rubbish that you've spoken Your life has lost its dignity, its beauty and its passion You're an accident waiting to happen
There you are standing in the bar And you're giving me grief about the ddr And that chip on your shoulder gets bigger as you Get older One of these night you're gonna get caught And she'll give you a pregnant pause for thought You're a dedicated swallower of fascism
Time up and time out For all the liberties you've taken Time up and time out for all the friends that You've foresaken And if you choose to waste away like death is back in fashion You're an accident waiting to happen
My sins are so unoriginal I have all the self-loathing of a wolf in sheep's clothing In this carnival of carnivores Heaven help me
