The World And His Brother
The road to our ruin
The motorway to heaven and hell
You've only any value
If you've got something to sell
The gods must be appeased
Sacrifices made
Get down on your knees
Pray you may be saved
The world and his brother
They've turned on one another
The hand of the righteous
Caught his fingers in the till
The rush to be first
Has hurt the weakest worst
Keep your eyes on the prize
Just don't open the bill
White is the new black
Colour doesn't count any more
The truth has been stolen
As predicted back in 1984
The gods must be appeased
Sacrifices made
Get down on your knees
Pray you may be saved
The world and his brother
They've turned on one another
The hand of the righteous
Caught his fingers in the till
The rush to be first
Has hurt the weakest worst
Keep your eyes on the prize
Just don't open the bill

Silver Spoon
Tempering my expectations
It all looks pretty screwed from here
There's too many exhortations
They're too busy ramping-up the fear
They've closed the gates to the golden city
They've got the power in a stranglehold
They've raised the drawbridge, they show no pity
They've done the sums and it don't look pretty
For me, for you,
For anyone been born, with no silver spoon
Intensive investigations
Have shown it was all our fault
The little we had got washed away
The rest is safe in their vaults
They've done away with every freedom
As protection from a threat
That they themselves have just created
How careless can you get
Poor me, poor you
Poor anyone been born, with no silver spoon

Dance Dance Dance
Stepping out into a new day
Got no worries, feeling fine
I want to see what's gonna come my way
A certain woman on my mind
Good times like these don't come round everyday
There's as scarce as the sun when there's clouds in the way
So I'm letting things roll as I take it all in
Enjoying the feeling of freedom it brings
Dance dance dance to the rhythm of the beat
There's a rush of energy I can't contain
Dance dance dance let your body feel the heat
There's a feeling in my head I can't explain
I'm so excited just to be here
I'm so electrified there's sparks
See me walking down on main street
Just slide up to me we'll dance
Good times like these don't come round everyday
There's as scarce as the sun when there's clouds in the way
So I'm letting things roll as I take it all in
Enjoying the feeling of freedom it brings
Dance dance dance to the rhythm of the beat
There's a rush of energy I can't contain
Dance dance dance let your body feel the heat
There's a feeling in my head I can't explain

Lead Into Gold
Don't bother with hope
Don't bother with dreams
Don't bother with asking me why
Get back into shape
Get back into line
Get back into living the lie
There's now way on earth as you push and you struggle
To ever break free of your fate
There's no way in heaven as you scream and you shout
You'll never break free it's too late
You can't break the pattern
You can't break the mould
You can't change the lead into gold
Living on hope
Living on dreams
Living on empty thin air
The truth is unkind
The truth is a brute
The truth doesn't have to be fair
There's now way on earth as you push and you struggle
To ever break free of your fate
There's no way in heaven as you scream and you shout
You'll never break free it's too late
You can't break the pattern
You can't break the mould
You can't change the lead into gold
