Pictures of dying going nationwide,
while they're cold and hungry on the streets outside.
Broken promises and broken homes.
And they're all queuing up for a government loan.

Pledging your millions off a TV screen
while the s___ on their doorstep remains uncleaned.
Who said charity begins at home?
And you're all holding out for a government loan.

Chorus

And while your final trace of faith is being crucified, and while your only means of escaping fear is suicide.

Give us hope.
You arrive alone and you die alone.

You buy their trust so you trust their war,
that's what they're paid to lead your Country for.
A flag and a pension and a marble stone
supplied and provided by the government loan.

Pill dependence under private health
while the rest of the world are medicating themselves.
The only guarantee is when we open our eyes
this revolution will be televised.

I'm standing at the edge of the world.
There's chaos in the city as the capitol burns.
I'm calling, calling.

I'm standing at the gates of the west
where the doors open wide for the American Express
and I'm calling, calling.

I'm standing in the ghost of the town,
looking up in the hope someone's looking back down.
I'm calling, calling.

I'm standing with my back to the wall
and the sign in my head is I'll be dead before I'm gonna fall.
Calling, calling.

I'm standing at the edge of the world.
There's chaos in the city as the capital burns.
I'm calling, calling.

I'm standing at the gates of the west
where the door is open wide for the fashionably dressed and I'm calling, calling.

I'm standing here looking at you.
And you're looking back at me like there's something I can do
and I'm calling, calling.
