The Gloaming

You had me going
With your speeches and soliloquies
I saw you on the stage
And I cheered at my TV

But why don't I think you're always
Doing what you say we believe
We're starting to get it now
Me and all the plebes

I'll tell you one more thing
You won't heed my warning
Cos you listen in stereotypes
To the things they say are alright

I'm gonna take a swing
You won't see it coming
But you're gonna wake up
Bruised and groaning
In the gloaming of your little world

I've had it with the mushroom treatment
Where you hope something beautiful grows
So I'm gonna send you where
The lightning dare not go

It's around the corner from
Insult and Injury
Past the thunder of the echo chamber
You'll be on your knees

I'll tell you one more thing
You won't heed my warning
Cos you listen in stereotypes
To the things they say are alright

I'm gonna take a swing
You won't see it coming
But you're gonna wake up
Bruised and groaning
In the gloaming of your little world
So you can keep on talking
Talk 'til you're green or blue
But you better start walking
Cos your days in the sun are through

I'll tell you one more thing
You won't heed my warning
Cos you listen in stereotypes
To the things they say are alright

I'm gonna take a swing
You won't see it coming
But you're gonna wake up
Bruised and groaning
In the gloaming of your little world
