Accident Waiting To Happen
-
Billy Bragg
-
Ive always been impressed with a girl Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well Thats the way I am, heaven help me He said, we dont like peace camapigners round here As he nailed another one to the wall And thats what gets me in trouble, heaven help me
Goodbye and good luck to all the rubbish that youve spoken Goodbye and good luck to all the promises Youve broken Your life has lost its dignity, its beauty and its passion Youre an accident waiting to happen
There you are standing at the bar And youre giving me grief about the ddr And that chip on your choulder gets bigger as you Get older One of these night youre gonna get caught, Itll give you a pregnant pause for thought Youre a dedicated swallower of fascism
Time up and time out For all the liberties youve taken Time up and time out for all the friends that Youve foresaken If you choose to waste away like death is back in fashion Youre an accident waiting to happen
And my sins are so unoriginal I have all the self-loathing of a wolf in sheeps clothing In this carnival of carnivores, Heaven help me
