One Way Disk 2
One Way
There's only one way of life
And that's your own your own your own
My father when I was younger
Took me up on to the hill
That looks down on the city smog
And above the factory spill
He said now this is where I come
When I wanted to be free
But he never was in his lifetime
But these words stuck with me hey
And so I ran from all of this
And I climbed that highest hill
I looked down on to my life
Above the factory spill
I looked down onto my life
As the family disgrace
Then all my friends on the starting line
Their wages off to chase
Yes and all my friends and all their jobs
All the bloody waste
Chorus Instant Song Lyrics
Well well when I grew up
Learned to love and laugh
Circled a's on the underpass
The noise we thought would never stop
Died a death when the punks grew up
And we choked on all our dreams
We resalled all our fears
Running through the heartless concrete streets
Chasing our ideas run
And all the problems of the world
Won't be solved by this guitar
And they won't stop coming either
By the life I've had so far
And the bright lights of my home town
Won't be getting any dimmer
Though their calling has receded
Like some old distant singer
And they don't look so appealing
To the eyes of this poor sinner
Chorus
England My Home
You gave me my birth
Then you made me pay
What is it worth
Cast me away
You've really done it now
Dying in my arms
You stand here with nothing
But you've still got English charm
Oh England, you're my home
My heart's heart
Crashing thunder of love
You're a place of the poor
Open wound
The lost rites of love
You cut your own throat
Then you let it bleed
Misleading your people
From what they all need
Roots forgotten
That's what we all say
But what does it matter
You're the USA
Why is it England
I feel like rubbish on your streets
Why is it when I care
If feel incomplete
Why does our future seem
Such a feat
When will our consciousness
Finally meet
Oh, whatever happened to
My green and pleasant land
I Have No Answers
Tell me now,
I want the answer for
Famine Salvation Bloodshed War
All the blood that's run before
Why can't politicians fight their own wars
I have no answers for
The problems caused by government and law
The only solution is to rearrange
From the bottom to the top
This system must change
Tell me the answers for
All the questions I ask you
I got to know right know
You keep the power with you
No questions asked
But I'm demanding answers now
For the present and for the past
I tell you it's dis-information
That keeps us all in our station
You tell me that I'm confused
Well I tell you that we're all used
