lyrics

it's nice to polite in an old city
to feel a tickle on your lips when it's warm and sunny
but honey if you're mad don't take a firmer line
they'll think you're getting flustered when
you're doing just fine
these little men on my shoulders don't make much sense
you give them a penny, then they take another pence
saying never twas it ever that the world's another way
but ain't it shocking to know men rape women every single day?

and you work like slave hold open doors
head damn clever and crowned with a charity ball
oh well never twas it ever that we didn't know
that an injury to one is an injury to all

friendly
thank you for the add
is this some kind of new verbal economy
well it's stupid and sad
and it might mean something to you
but it don't mean shit to my crew

you know it ain't that radical to want to
know what's going down and it was
years and years ago that we first rocked this town
now i'm that insane when i want much less
the choice to define what is my own success
cos i'm indebted to nobody for what it's worth
but you've gotta take an interest in the shit that you unearth
and if you're wearing big boots we can walk astride
but what's the point in your sable if you ain't gonna step outside?

and do you work like slaves hold open doors...

and you're so charming
just like the old guys on the wall
what could be remotely disarming
about some old guys on a wall
well it might mean nothing to you
but it means some shit to my crew
