Jamjar

With a jam jar of wine I'm a smoking gun
Rolling a smoke just to ease my mind
The world is burning and we all feel it
It shivers and cracks I mean it
But we've gone too far, there's no turning back
A rolling gear on a broken rack
We lack the will to talk about the good
Conversations to me is just like firewood

Why are you so blue tonight?
You're all tangled in it
Why did your toast for freedom weigh so little
Words of plastic, they're all bloody fantastic
I want it frantic, not pure nor pedantic
I'm surviving on the passion that I'm given
But like an autumn leaf I shiver
Cause we live in fucked up times
And we all walk just fine on the same old line

Laugh at misery, swallow madness with wine
Why won't you let us have a good time?
Tell me Mr, is that alright
Are we serious enough to have a good time?
Keep on dancing whilst the walls are cracking
Why won't you let us have a good time?
Change doesn't need to be pointing fingers
Are we serious enough to have a good good time?

With a jam jar of love I'm a decent lover
At least 'til someone my heart uncovers
It was easier when we were young they say
Not yet fooled by their wicked ways
Untouched by the hands of adversity
Still standing on the edge of uncertainty
Am I moving straight or am I chasing my tale
Discovering new land or just sticking to the masterplan

Laugh at misery, swallow madness with wine
Why won't you let us have a good time?
Tell me Mr, is that alright
Are we serious enough to have a good time?
Keep on dancing whilst the walls are cracking
Why won't you let us have a good time?
Change doesn't need to be pointing fingers
Are we serious enough to have a good good time?

With a jamjar of wine I'm a midnight thinker
It may even make me a mid-day drinker
I'm a laugher and a singer, Its always true the love I bring her
I scramble over the rocks
Just to see the sun coming up
Good morning chances, good morning loss
I can't belive through all the fog you still look at us
