[Bloc Party - Portcullis lyrics]

Stop being so European
There's a time and a place
A time for words not action
No time to articulate

I'm a humble man with humble desire
I bleed, I breathe nobody wants World War 3
Grow old gracefully turn off the TV
It's okay it's not real
Everyone loves the fight scenes
It's okay it's not real
Float like a butterfly
Learn to love the way you feel
Just like the movies it's okay it's not real
We can make you disappear
We can make you disappear
We can make you disappear
It's okay it's not real

We can learn and fight and fight and fight
We can fight and fight and
Fight to learn and fight
We can learn and fight and burn and fight
We can set fire and learn
With flames to fight
We can look at books and
Learn to how to fight
We can shut books and fight flames and burn
We can burn books and learn to love to fight
We can shut you down and
Shut your fucking mouths
