Glasvegas - Finished Sympathy lyrics

Sick to death of a means to an end
Who and why and what-age offers no mercy
Rushed away is the leveller of youth
Butchered is the innocence of truth

I felt it shaking my bones again

I saw them on the street today
It was something that someone said
I felt the crush of finished sympathy

No longer trembling daisies
Now mobile teenage killing machines
Lending each other to
Man made atomic energies
All because we turned seventeen
Led to places by historical
Unequal of reasons
Shooting real guns in real places
'Til they're unheard of geographically

I felt it shaking my bones again

Was it 'cos you had lost some faith?
Did you see it on the street today?
Did you feel finished sympathy?

How illogical is a piece of faith anyway?
This as long as the child is inside me
Don't finish sympathy don't finish sympathy
I won't finish sympathy, not yet

Don't finish sympathy
