Powercut Circus Red Spit Lyrics

Freeze frame
a still picture of life as we walk through the maze
it's just a phase
and the government declares you're more likely to die from UV rays
and i'm walking these hot, sticky streets
dodging mud, red spit and crow s___
and I'm thinking about the news I read this morning
more people dead
more people missing
right under the cops noses
fat politicians are impotent posers
waving us away like flies
when the motorcade passes by
cos they got a thug mentality this lot
they made a bunch of promises
but then forgot

One day these thoughts will line them up against the wall

Street sweepers
meter maids
little boys holding hands
little girls in braids
moving on to the barricade
got my checkpoint face on
can't look too proud
cos the skinny boy with the T-56
wants to see my ID
I oblige
got nothing to hide
cos I pay my taxes and fund elections every year
don't kow why
ignorance deals death in small doses
we pay for their cars
we pay for their posters

One day these thoughts will line them up against the wall

A little sidewalk, side thought, small talk
I'm running out breath
can't take another step
85% humidity and injustice
is killing me
cant' take another breath
keep talking
can't take another step
keep walking
I'll be dodging mud, blood, red spit and crow s___
I'll be leaving it all behind
I've had enough
