Fly By Night
Built on lies and running with cheats
Have a two-for-one offer of a faulty promise
Throwaway statements to keep us sweet
There's no room for anything honest
The monies sifted, they'll take their cut
While we're kept on a hook by frenzied bottom feeders
The self righteous won't disclose they're out of touch
That's the irony that scolds but the procedure for such avid bleeders
Party slogans act as we're all unified
Always divided. Together as one
A nations heart torn apart and under qualified
There's a race for more power that needs to be won
We're on the run
From the barrel of the organisations mishandled gun
Caught in the firing line
Of nothing more than a fly by night
All around streets are left scarred
And bleed with disillusion and doubt
Damage control bankrolls the disregard
Our tyres are slashed and we're in for a blackout
Playing the dirty game in suits and ties
With crossed fingers behind their backs
Believing is deceiving whilst dominance is the prize
They'll tighten up their grip and not you a single inch of slack
Party slogans act as we're all unified
Always divided. Together as one
A nations heart torn apart and under qualified
There's a race for more power that needs to be won
We're on the run
From the barrel of the organisations mishandled gun
Caught in the firing line
Of nothing more than a fly by night
Shifty scandals that they manhandle
Make perfect examples of their personalities
Backroom deals
Digging in their heels
Profits over people is a mutual formality
Party slogans act as we're all unified
Always divided. Together as one
A nations heart torn apart and under qualified
There's a race for more power that needs to be won
We're on the run
From the barrel of the organisations mishandled gun
Caught in the firing line of nothing more
Than a fly by night
Have a two-for-one offer of a faulty promise
Throwaway statements to keep us sweet
There's no room for anything honest
The monies sifted, they'll take their cut
While we're kept on a hook by frenzied bottom feeders
The self righteous won't disclose they're out of touch
That's the irony that scolds but the procedure for such avid bleeders
Party slogans act as we're all unified
Always divided. Together as one
A nations heart torn apart and under qualified
There's a race for more power that needs to be won
We're on the run
From the barrel of the organisations mishandled gun
Caught in the firing line
Of nothing more than a fly by night
All around streets are left scarred
And bleed with disillusion and doubt
Damage control bankrolls the disregard
Our tyres are slashed and we're in for a blackout
Playing the dirty game in suits and ties
With crossed fingers behind their backs
Believing is deceiving whilst dominance is the prize
They'll tighten up their grip and not you a single inch of slack
Party slogans act as we're all unified
Always divided. Together as one
A nations heart torn apart and under qualified
There's a race for more power that needs to be won
We're on the run
From the barrel of the organisations mishandled gun
Caught in the firing line
Of nothing more than a fly by night
Shifty scandals that they manhandle
Make perfect examples of their personalities
Backroom deals
Digging in their heels
Profits over people is a mutual formality
Party slogans act as we're all unified
Always divided. Together as one
A nations heart torn apart and under qualified
There's a race for more power that needs to be won
We're on the run
From the barrel of the organisations mishandled gun
Caught in the firing line of nothing more
Than a fly by night
