Fionn Regan - Violent Demeanour lyrics

White-knuckle alabaster You're on a traffic island With a bag of birthday cards You're searching for A flick knife In the glove box It's a write-off No unauthorized personnel Behind these lines, without id cards Hand guns are widely available I've a violent demeanour So tie me to a chair Till it's out of my system Till it's out of my system Down the Shanghai Tunnels White-knuckle alabaster You talk to jesus You talk to jesus In a photo-booth He wants your bank details Date of birth Confess the truth The institutions With the metal halls Chain the mentally ill To destitute walls The wards of state Do not illuminate The margins I'va a violent demeanour So tie me to a chair Till it's out of my system Till it's out of my system Down the Shanghai Tunnels Beware, at the start of life Looking up into your mothers eyes Now there's pennies on your eyelids I've a violent demeanour So tie me to a chair Till it's out of my system Till it's out of my system Down the Shanghai Tunnels I've a violent demeanour
