ONE MAN ISLAND
(Jake Burns)
It's getting so you can't trust no one
It's getting so you can't even trust yourself
Each morning there's a brand new villain
Each newspaper a brand new boogeyman
But we believe and we're deceived
Chorus:
But I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can
And I can't live my life as a one man island
It's better if we all stay frightened
It's better if our heads stay in the sand
But I recognize irrational hatred
And I recognize a fear of my fellow man
And it's the truth and we're all fools
Chorus x 2
I won't be a
One man island
I can't be a
One man island
You can't be one too
You know it's true
TV's bluster and there's moral outrage
Someone gets richer someone else ends up in a cage
Yet it strikes me that the whole thing gets worse
It seems to me some positions should be changed
No end of crying will stop these liars
Chorus x 3
