[Sam Fender - Long Way Off lyrics]
I've seen enough of it
The sides are all cemented
Their incentives look the same
Are they vetted in the same ways?
As the little guy puts blood and tears
In to pushing deadweight on the Capitol steps
Bleeding out for a caricature
Of a '50s salesman
Hare checklist, tickin' every box
Dead for what?
Standing on the side
I never was the silent type
All the endless grey conundrums that
Are painted black and white
I heard a hundred million voices sound
The same both left and right
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
Some get along with it
They drag around from town to town
With a pretty lie that hoodwinked
Many of my loved ones
And I owe it to my folks for giving me an
Understanding of a world that
Shot my people down
The hungry and divided play into the hands
Of the man who put them there so it goes
Standing on the side
I never was the silent type
All the endless grey conundrums that
Are painted black and white
I heard a hundred million voices sound
The same both left and right
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
Standing on the side
I never was the silent type
All the endless grey conundrums that
Are painted black and white
I heard a hundred million voices sound
The same both left and right
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
The sides are all cemented
Their incentives look the same
Are they vetted in the same ways?
As the little guy puts blood and tears
In to pushing deadweight on the Capitol steps
Bleeding out for a caricature
Of a '50s salesman
Hare checklist, tickin' every box
Dead for what?
Standing on the side
I never was the silent type
All the endless grey conundrums that
Are painted black and white
I heard a hundred million voices sound
The same both left and right
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
Some get along with it
They drag around from town to town
With a pretty lie that hoodwinked
Many of my loved ones
And I owe it to my folks for giving me an
Understanding of a world that
Shot my people down
The hungry and divided play into the hands
Of the man who put them there so it goes
Standing on the side
I never was the silent type
All the endless grey conundrums that
Are painted black and white
I heard a hundred million voices sound
The same both left and right
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
Standing on the side
I never was the silent type
All the endless grey conundrums that
Are painted black and white
I heard a hundred million voices sound
The same both left and right
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
