Breathless - Waiting On The Wire lyrics

Your tireless work counts for little here It's so unbelievable All's fair with favour for a favour And they must surely know And they should really know Running on and on I'm all out of humour And ready to rest The new price of freedom Seems more than than I've got It's strange how the new rule Seems destined for no goal And what's this sound ringing in our ears? It's just the sound of the wars We don't want to fight for Power hungry star eyed prefects Shoot blindly from their desks Pushing the wheel in a backward motion Leading us all somewhere But it's nowhere Nowhere but over the edge And they must surely know They should really know It's nowhere in particular Nowhere in particular But swinging on a pocket watch It's guns that keep us from sleep Running on on and on I'm all out of humour And ready to rest and rest
