lyrics

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 welfare 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
