Billy Bragg Accident Waiting To Happen
I've always been impressed with a girl Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well That's the way I am heaven help me He said we don't like peace campaigners round here As he nailed another one to the wall And that's what gets me in trouble heaven help me Goodbye and good luck To all the promises you've broken Goodbye and good luck To all the rubbish that you've spoken Your life has lost its dignity Its beauty and its passion You're an accident waiting to happen There you are standing at the bar And you're giving me grief about the DDR And that chip on your shoulder get bigger as you get older One of these nights you're gonna get caught It'll give you a pregnant pause for thought You're a dedicated swallower of fascism Time up and time out For all the liberties you've taken Time up and time out For all the friends that you've forsaken If you chose to waste away Like death is back in fashion You're an accident waiting to happen My sins are so unoriginal I have all the self loathing of a wolf in sheep's clothing In this carnival of carnivores heaven help me
