Chumbawamba - After Shelley lyrics
[Chumbawamba - After Shelley lyrics]
Anybody can press a button and blow up a ship
Anybody can use an atom bomb
Anybody can pick up a big whip and whip you
Anybody can stick a knife into you
Anybody can pull a trigger
But where's the man with the character
As can take
A punch on the nose and keep his temper
Keep control of himself?
The seed you sow, another reaps
The wealth you find, another keeps
The clothes you weave, another wears
The arms you forge, another bears
The songs you write, another sings
The heart you lose, another wins
The food you bake, another eats
Poison laced and oh so sweet
Rock and roll check your pulse
Art or death true or false
Can't stay young can't grow old
Overpriced undersold
Anybody can use an atom bomb
Anybody can pick up a big whip and whip you
Anybody can stick a knife into you
Anybody can pull a trigger
But where's the man with the character
As can take
A punch on the nose and keep his temper
Keep control of himself?
The seed you sow, another reaps
The wealth you find, another keeps
The clothes you weave, another wears
The arms you forge, another bears
The songs you write, another sings
The heart you lose, another wins
The food you bake, another eats
Poison laced and oh so sweet
Rock and roll check your pulse
Art or death true or false
Can't stay young can't grow old
Overpriced undersold
