There's an angel of death on your back
You gotta run
So you and your kid won't get hit
But that's the order of the day
In a country
Where shoot to kill is done at will
You gotta love me while you can
Or cut me out
Cut me down and ease the pain
All the good times are getting washed away
We gotta rise again another day
All the good times are getting washed away
How could I end up so displaced.
You can't hold on to the past
Just hold it in your mind
The girl you knew no longer hides
Her hands behind her back
I want some recompense
No abject fear is gonna make me toe the line
We gotta fix it while we can
Or hunt me down
Come and shoot me down in flames
All the good times are getting washed away
We gotta rise again another day
All the good times are getting washed away
How could I end up so displaced
All the good times are getting washed away
We gotta rise again another day
All the good times are getting washed away
How could I end up so displaced
I gotta find my way again
How could I end up so displaced

Halcyon Days

Swimming out to mainland
Our history got lost
Our lives aren't worth the same
The rights have all been bought
Where do we go now?
With the Halcyon days behind
The workers looking hopeful
Yet they're breathing in the stink
Holding out on payroll
In a burnt out well-fare state
Where do we go now?
With the Halcyon days behind
And it's time we woke up to the call
We don't need medals or trophies or phoney curtain calls
Or a lion that roars for nothing
Into nothingness
Just us
At dusk an empty playground
The wind blows a broken swing
Promises of mending
On the never-never wind
Where do we go now?
With the Halcyon days behind
Wake up
Take a look at me now
We gotta start looking at the silver lining
