The Levellers
The Levellers - Broken Circles lyrics
Your rating:
He thought to bring the world around Sleepless nights with God and Christ The new messiah To burn the world, to change the days Can be done in better ways But to make the news and front page You've got to aim higher They didn't build Jerusalem They couldn't find the land For reasons of security They couldn't get the plans CHORUS And we're left standing watching from below No new songs and no new heroes Standing on the sidelines watching the flow Waiting till the day the circle's broken Took the mic to save the day The rock star's going to have his say Interpret this in any way as if it matters 'Cos nothing's black and nothing's white Nothing appears to be quite right It'll be this way until the day The circle's shattered I heard an old song yesterday About a better world You know the story They're all the same The boy gets the girl CHORUS >From the tips of your fingers The rest is numb YTou begin to feel the warmth of the sun It's slipping away, been taken away All you once knew Taking it back takes all you've got No time to sit and watch it rot Believe it's yours and not the lies Or all hell to you CHORUS --------------------------------------------------------------------------
