Momus - Swansong lyrics
[Momus - Swansong lyrics]
The day will come when people can be clean
Clean as the sun when we have learned that
Dirty tricks don't pay and crime is no fun
The day that honesty and
Kindliness and friendliness
Are how we want to be
Will be a day worth waiting for obviously
Until that day I'll have to shaft and graft
Like everybody does
I'll have to lie and cheat and rob and gobble
Obviously because
You cannot make a better world
'til everybody plays along
It's not utopia running in a gang of one
It's a swansong
These dirty ways I may embrace today
But, it's just for today
When things improve I'm going
To live for love live another way
I'll walk in light, do everybody proud
Give everything away
Until that day I'll have to live for me
Obviously
The day will come when people can be strong
As strong as the sun
When we have learned our
Dirty tricks don't pay and evil's no fun
That day of honesty and kindliness
And friendliness and decency
Will come the day after the day I live for me
Obviously
Clean as the sun when we have learned that
Dirty tricks don't pay and crime is no fun
The day that honesty and
Kindliness and friendliness
Are how we want to be
Will be a day worth waiting for obviously
Until that day I'll have to shaft and graft
Like everybody does
I'll have to lie and cheat and rob and gobble
Obviously because
You cannot make a better world
'til everybody plays along
It's not utopia running in a gang of one
It's a swansong
These dirty ways I may embrace today
But, it's just for today
When things improve I'm going
To live for love live another way
I'll walk in light, do everybody proud
Give everything away
Until that day I'll have to live for me
Obviously
The day will come when people can be strong
As strong as the sun
When we have learned our
Dirty tricks don't pay and evil's no fun
That day of honesty and kindliness
And friendliness and decency
Will come the day after the day I live for me
Obviously
