Levellers - Broken Circles Lyrics
Fired forty rounds in the centre of townHe thought to bring the world aroundSleepless nights with God and ChristThe new messiahTo burn the world, to change the daysCan be done in better waysBut to make the news and front pageYou've got to aim higherThey didn't build JerusalemThey couldn't find the landFor reasons of securityThey couldn't get the plansCHORUSAnd we're left standing watching from belowNo new songs and no new heroesStanding on the sidelines watching the flowWaiting till the day the circle's brokenTook the mic to save the dayThe rock star's going to have his sayInterpret this in any way as if it matters'Cos nothing's black and nothing's whiteNothing appears to be quite rightIt'll be this way until the dayThe circle's shatteredI heard an old song yesterdayAbout a better worldYou know the storyThey're all the sameThe boy gets the girlCHORUS>From the tips of your fingersThe rest is numbYTou begin to feel the warmth of the sunIt's slipping away, been taken awayAll you once knewTaking it back takes all you've gotNo time to sit and watch it rotBelieve it's yours and not the liesOr all hell to youCHORUS--------------------------------------------------------------------------
