All the stories have been told
|
Of kings and days of old,
|
But there's no England now.
|
All the wars that were won and lost
|
Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore.
|
All the lies we were told,
|
All the lies of the people running round,
|
They're castles have burned.
|
Now I see change,
|
But inside we're the same as we ever were.
|
|
Living on a thin line,
|
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
|
Living on a thin line,
|
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
|
Living on a thin line,
|
Living this way, each day is a dream.
|
What am I, what are we supposed to do?
|
Living on a thin line,
|
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
|
|
Now another century nearly gone,
|
What are we gonna leave for the young?
|
What we couldn't do, what we wouldn't do,
|
It's a crime, but does it matter?
|
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?
|
Does it ever really matter?
|
Yes, it really, really matters.
|
|
Living on a thin line,
|
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
|
Living on a thin line,
|
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
|
|
Now another leader says
|
Break their hearts and break some heads.
|
Is there nothing we can say or do?
|
Blame the future on the past,
|
Always lost in blood and guts.
|
And when they're gone, it's me and you.
|
|
Living on a thin line,
|
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
|
Living on a thin line,
|
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
|
Living on a thin line.
