Billy Bragg - Accident Waiting To Happen Lyrics
Ive always been impressed with a girlWho could sing for her supper and get breakfast as wellThats the way I am, heaven help meHe said, we dont like peace camapigners round hereAs he nailed another one to the wallAnd thats what gets me in trouble, heaven help meGoodbye and good luck to all the rubbish that youve spokenGoodbye and good luck to all the promisesYouve brokenYour life has lost its dignity, its beauty and its passionYoure an accident waiting to happenThere you are standing at the barAnd youre giving me grief about the ddrAnd that chip on your choulder gets bigger as youGet olderOne of these night youre gonna get caught,Itll give you a pregnant pause for thoughtYoure a dedicated swallower of fascismTime up and time outFor all the liberties youve takenTime up and time out for all the friends thatYouve foresakenIf you choose to waste away like death is back in fashionYoure an accident waiting to happenAnd my sins are so unoriginalI have all the self-loathing of a wolf in sheeps clothingIn this carnival of carnivores,Heaven help me
