Stiff Little Fingers - One Man Island lyrics

It's getting so you can't trust no one It's getting so you can't even trust yourself Each morning there's a brand new villain Each newspaper a brand new boogeyman But we believe And we're deceived And I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can And I can't live my life as a one man island It's better if we all stay frightened It's better if our heads stay in the sand But I recognize irrational hatred And I recognize a fear of my fellow man And it's the truth And we're all fools And I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can And I can't live my life as a one man island No I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can And I can't live my life as a one man island I won't be a A one man island I can't be a A one man island You can't be one too Oh you know it's true TV’s bluster and there’s moral outrage Someone gets richer someone else ends up in a cage Yet it strikes me that the whole thing gets worse Yeah it seems to me positions should be changed No end of crying Will stop these liars And I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can And I can't live my life as a one man island No I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can And I can't live my life as a one man island No I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can And I can't live my life a a one man island
