All Downhill From Here (Part 1)

(verse) Turn back home Don't look back again Mossgrown Home Herds of sheep...turn back Time turns back Losing track again One more year One more step...the wrong way (Instrumental chorus) (verse 2) We've been vain Believing every word One Way Train One Track Mind Earth is cracked Too fucked up to mend Sea is black Peace and love...have been condemned (bridge) All downhill All downhill from here All downhill All downhill from here Turn back Take back Take us home

Abandon your cars Abandon your clothes Follow the path Scattered with flowers Move with your feet Or move with your logic We are the chisel That is your hammer Return to the earth Discover the magic Cover the concrete Hear through the static Time for rebirth Time for the skeptics Follow the music We can do it together We could memorise our past lives But we would never learn For our mistakes breed new mistakes That constantly unfurl In flanders fields the poppies grow Dark and red as blood I wear it proud upon my breast and wait for the flood With no reward for all you've done Your tired legs can no longer run You were just a hired gun from the start This is the resistance This is the sound of dissent 400000 people coming together

The world is holding its breath Oh what will you dream up next There was hope for you years ago I'd like to think that there's hope for you yet Nothing much left to wreck Your future is shackled with debt Our only refuge is found in music or madness We’ll be reporting Nothing that’s foreign Keep it all out Keep you all in Your sights and your sounds Will be censored somehow We’ll make you all fat Then demand you be thin Spin this any way Dismiss your logic Only obey With bursting pockets We bought up the land With jewel encrusted hands We tore up the plan The world is holding its breath Oh what will you think up next America Is becoming Whole Nothing much left to wreck Your future is shackled with debt America Is becoming a hole Like a dove In the middle of a storm It’s a labour of Love That’s wondrous and warm This carpentry Built with interlocking hands In harmony We tore up the plan they’ll still be reporting Nothing That’s foreign Keep it all out Keep you all in Twisting the picture Just like your scripture Nurture the fake Plastic is king We’ll be Nothing We’ll say Nothing We’ll do Nothing We’ll have Nothing We’ll make Nothing We’ll Sing Nothing We’ll take Nothing We’ll be Nothing

Thunderstorm 09:29
Lungs aflood with the damp Mother nature’s embrace washes over your face Eyes inscribed with an epiphany In its infancy And this is it’s birthplace Thunderstorm In your rebellious heart Thunderstorm It’s a start We’re barefoot, in the mud Where once was a meadow Where all good ideas go But they dripped off the ends of your fingers Thunderstorm In your rebellious heart Thunderstorm It’s a start
