The Wolves At The Door

Somewhere round here there is a corpse of a man
A man who told his wife and kid, I am the man who can
But, when push came to shove he kicked that can
So far down the road he just did as he was told

And when they came for his Kid
He should have kept him hid
But he threw his life away
'Cause that's what everyone else did

Somewhere inside he knows it's all gone awry
As his life it ebbs away, he hasn't even tried
To his wife and his kid it's a sham and it's a lie
He's failed at the one thing he was born to provide

And when they came for his Kid
He should have kept him hid
But he threw his life away
'Cause that's what everyone else did

We tried to warn them
Researched and showed them
But no-one listened
And we we're shut out of the world

And when they came for his Kid
He should have kept him hid
But he threw his life away
'Cause that's what everyone else did

He was told by the Government man
He was told by the big business man
He failed at the one thing he was put here for
To protect, to keep safe, keep the wolves from the door
