Long Throes

Lyrics for Long Throes

God appeared to me, trying to ease my doubts Told him everything’s okay but I’m glad he reached out Tell me how many hours in any single dull day Can I pray to a league table but still it don’t change? And how many times in just one miserable life Will they vote for the bastards who would sooner annex paradise? You stand unmoving while the world keeps turning Thought your heart was broken, but it’s only yearning Union Flag is waving while the building’s burning Embers ablaze, long throes always Do you tire of excuses that you make for your parents? How “they worked hard for their money"", for your future inheritance? You’re all in agreement that the police are useless They want them emboldened, Baby, you want them bootless The punks on the playlist, are crooning for kindness Asking “why can’t we all just get along?” Me and my friends are sadists, backbreakers for spineless Wish ‘em dead and then we’ll put it in a song Capital don’t care, we’re eating at the trough I’d like to teach the world to scream at all of the above Anxieties and maladies and falling out of love You stand unmoving while the world keeps turning Thought your heart was broken, but it’s only yearning Union Flag is waving while the building’s burning Embers ablaze, long throes always
