lyrics

I've been wandering the streets
falling down as I roam
shoving drink down my throat
filled my lungs up with smoke
and freezing my bones at the side of the road
wondering how I will find my way back home

But I've lived here for years
in this god awful town
where you only get lost
and I've never been found
and I buried my words six feet underground
when they told me don't speak
keep your head down now

Let the poor people sleep
by the side of the streets
and convince everyone that they're all liars and cheats
praise the neighbours next door overflowing with greed
who will always get given
far more than they need.

I lost faith in the system
when they wouldn't listen
they don't want to help them
it's easier to kill them
to them they're just numbers on tables and graphs
and I can't sit and watch as they talk out their arse

And I shouldn't feel scared
of the people high up
but then the evidence shows
that they don't give a fuck
about the little people
or the people like me
you might be shepherd but I won't be your sheep.

Because we don't fit in
and that's why I have been
searching for places and people like me
and I won't sit down
because I'm too damn proud
I know my place but I know what I believe

No opinions
No tomorrow
Keep your head down
Learn to follow
