Lyrics

This is the world
Why are you waiting?
Everyone's standing by hesitating
So many people halfway there
Between two points in the middle of nowhere
And all those things you thought you'd be
Did you know that it doesn't come free?
Have you seen yourself of late?
Standing still beside the kill
Have you really got your fill?
Time to try for more than that
At times your feet they seem to slide
Never stop
Never break your stride
And if you slip you can get up
Get up!
That's the wonder of the winner's cup
Put your foot down
Into the shaky ground
Piss around a circle and make it sound
Look around
See the people lying down
Listen now
Can't you hear the sound of machines all breaking down
The fuel is running out
The severed lines destroyed by too much time spent down
My head forced down
My hope forced down between my legs
I come unwound
All my preaching stems from fear
You're my concern
I hold you dear
You must break out of this old cage
Do it now
This is no longer safe
