ALL FOOLS DAY :
Emotional masks are peeling
Cracks start to form in my feelings
Asleep, or almost, and alone
Bored and boring laughter drones in every home
I can't be bothered to look back
Don't want to paper over the cracks
I'm quite prepared to watch it all fall apart
I'm quite happy to stand back
I'm trapped in a place where everything's wrong
I've realised the whole world's like this so where do I belong?
Why find myself something pointless to do?
So I can ignore the worthlessness too?
If you're looking for a way out, you won't find one shown
Our leaders don't want anyone going it alone
Our leaders…
I can't be bothered to look back
Don't want to paper over the cracks
I'm quite prepared to watch it all fall apart
I'm quite happy to stand back
Help, I'm too bored to be depressed
Nowhere is left to be alone
Don't bury me, I'm still alive
I just can't be bothered to move
THE REASON WHY :
People look but they just don't see
Seem like they're listening but never seem to hear
Insomnia, pain, won't stop whirling
Love is a currency, you still use sterling
But some children never grow up
And see the world and see it fucked
And lyrics might be eloquent
But they stop at the skin
Whilst my heart cries tears
For the love wasted within
Like me when I ignored you on the bus
And you even sat next to me on the tube
And the mutual strangers never connect
And people even talk but nothing gets said
I'm reaching for your heart but your skin's like lead
The whole world goes to work
But nothing is produced
In the out tray lovers remain
Simply seduced
Valium is your only friend
And the world's got lots of money/love but none to lend
At school standing away from the rest
Crying in the concrete playground cos you're not the best
And the streets so dirty you don't want to walk on them anymore
In fields of green lie naked and don't feel so sore
The sun is shining and your cheeks feel warm
And nature will stand when the concrete's been torn down
Torn down to the ground
Tear it down
Burn it down
…the most beautiful people in the world
