My love of life's unfashionable The mirth of yesterday Is somewhat kind of radical So wipe your smiles away We've lost the age of reasoning Compelled into a room The burning scent of poisoning The bait before the tomb Only you can hear me now As I shouted at the world Don't you get the feeling This world is squeezing you too hard Now I find you kneeling down With no feelings to guard We've lost the right to criticize We've lost the power of speech We've found our children ostracised And washed up on the beach Only you can hear me now As I shouted at the world Don't you get the feeling This world is squeezing you too hard Now I find you kneeling down With no feelings to guard
