Flatline

A night on the town
Now war is declared
And battle come down

We're gonna pick up the pieces
They say our towns are dying
But no no no
We're gonna pick up the pieces
Cos man I know they're lying
I sure hope so

I see tonight our youth are smashing up the streets of the nation
While cities burn our fearless leader out on vacation
The airwaves are a battleground of misinformation
Flatlining, cut the cord

Hear the voice of the people
Louder than the sound of them all
Oh what a mess we gotta clean-up
But we don't run from nothing at all

No!

We're gonna pick up the pieces
They say our spirits breaking
But no no no
We're gonna pick up the pieces
This is our home we're making
So go man go

Well it's a little late to bolt the gate they're all jumping over
Our cities need investing in not meetings with COBRA
I guess the big society are sat on the sofa
While I'm avoiding kids with baseball-bats in a Nova

The kid with the hoodie up don't love we
The man from the government too arrogant to see
The streets onna fire where does that leave me?
Flatline to cut the cord

Hear the voice of the people
Louder than the sound of them all
Oh what a mess we gotta clean-up
But we don't run from nothing at all
And hear the voice of the people
You can knock us down and we fall
But good will always conquer evil
And we don't run from nothing at all
Like a shadow on the wall

A night on the town
Now war is declared
And battle come down

That kid with the hoodie up don't love we
The man from the government too arrogant to see
The streets onna fire where does that leave me?
Flatline to cut the cord

And hear the voice of the people
Louder than the sound of them all
Oh what a mess we gotta clean-up
But we don't run from nothing at all
And hear the voice of the people
You can knock us down and we fall
But good will always conquer evil
And we don't run from nothing at all
Like a talking on the phone

A night on the town
Now war is declared
And battle come down
