Red City Radio - Talk Me To Sleep lyrics

Paper warfare in my face Is a bad omen these days My stale cigarettes Smoke haze in my eyes They never stray from the herd When they charge by the word Hopeful interjection will get you nowhere They give the supermarket stare Their response is laissez faire Do they talk starvation in your economics cla** They label you an alarmist Cause you protest the clinched fist And see a desperate situation for the progress of the poor Spirits fall as batons rise up The weapons budget didn't get cut What clever wordplay you have Better to speak lies, my lad Blind them with the truth And the lap dogs won't snap back I know we share in the guilt For the paper shelters we built We've been blinded by the fears that we've become illiterate It's a gla** slipper that doesn't slip A square peg that doesn't fit Your righteous indignation prepackaged postage paid Hope for a tepid response at best As per your silent request See a desperate demonstration as you digress from the point Spirits fall as batons rise up Weapons budget didn't get cut But my hands did Blood stained pavement They're asking us to die for something While asking us to live for nothing How is this world so proud Mistakes allowed No lessons learned as we keep on bowing out They're asking us to die for something While asking us to live for nothing How is this world so proud Mistakes allowed No lessons learned as we keep on bowing out No lessons learned as we keep bowing out
