Didn't seem much 

To get all worked up about 

Something I said 

Made us scream and shout 


We've been here before 

Wasn't such a big deal then 

You forgave me 

Thought you'd forgive again 


But this time around 

It seems You've made a stnd 

I'm putting my foot down 

On shifting sand

A nation's favourite son 

But what the hell for? 

I exercise my power 

But what the hell for?

But what the hell for?

Hope has gone 

Of her ever coming back 


There's just two immortal lines 

I'm thinking of 

You love the thing you kill 

And you kill the thing you love 


Striving, driving 

Sweeping all before me 

So people I think that matter 

Just can't ignore me 


Never let go 

No compromises 

Now who can deny 

Life's full of surprises 


The people's number one 

But what the hell for? 

A nation's favourite son 

But what the
