Never Mind The Bombings, Here's Your

United Nations Never Mind The Bombings, Here's Your Lyrics
1.Pity Animal

A stray:A stray dog
A stray thought
A scrap for the hunger machine
A sign says
'Turn back don't trust them here'
A symbol for dishonest men

Sleep in the streets
Run in the gutters
Head in your hands
Heart in your mother's mistakes

Away
A way to forget them
And a fix to keep others at bay
Spare change but keep
All your sympathy
These days the kids
All have plenty to spare

Sleep in the streets
Run in the gutters
Head in your hands
Follow your father's footsteps

Run
Sleep in the streets
Run in the gutters
Head in your hands
Blood in your country's teeth
Runaway

Run
To light cigarettes in boxcars
And play 'Boat dreams...'
On broken guitars
To walk all night
With shoes full of blood
And fade in daytime
Movie theaters
To read that
'Life was a vast glowing empty page'
And we were free
We were free
To wake up
With a needle in your arm
And throw it all away
You threw it all away
To just become
Another dog off it's leash
Just a fucking pity animal

Sleeping in the streets
To just become another dirty word
Painted on a wall
Just a pity fucking animal
Sleeping in the Streets
Running in the gutters
Your head in your hands
But your face
Isn't on any milk cartons
Run run run
Don't call me
From your nightmare


2.O You Bright & Risen Angels

Let's push the button
Start the resurrection
Dead traitors and saints
It's time for you to rise
And others afraid
That god is in heaven
No need to be forgiven
No chance to be redeemed
Dance on typewriter keys
Outside of history
The judgments are profane
The Judgments pre-made
Nothing to lose
But your last feeble principles
So

'Unite, unite unite!'
Up and onwards
Up and onwards
O you bright and risen angels
We've been so alone without you
We've been so lost without you

Let's flip the switch
Power to the masses
Flood all the circuits with fire
Blue globes are breaking
A violent reaction

Return, return, return
Up and over
Up and Over
O you bright and risen angels
The spring will come
Without you

The sun will rise
Without you
We'll be just fine
Without you here


3.Communication Letdown

Your mistake
Deliberation on subjects
You know nothing of
Our opinion
You should shut it down
Before it gets too late

Communication
Letdown
A cessation of doubt
About legitimate things
Like the hands in the till
Position
Unwritten
Decision

We think that you should clarify
'It's my friends' lives, not mine'
On and on
You see the wheels keep turning
When the car in motion
Along those lines
The night is over
But you never shut down

Communication: Letdown
A cessation of doubt
About legitimate things
Like old friends falling out
Position
Unwritten
Decision

We think that you should clarify
'It's my friends' lives, not mine'
Everybody's talking about
The thing they know nothing
About

'It's my friends' lives, not mine'
Communication
Letdown
Position
Unwritten
Decision

We think that you should clarify
'It's my friends' lives, not mine'


4.Never Mind The Bombings, Here's Your Six Figures

No, you can't believe it's true
They can't be pulling a fast one
You count your blessings
But it's never enough
Never enough
Now you're living life
In the pass lane
You've got your foot
On the brakes
You'll never take a risk
Never again never again

It's always the same
Things fade
But nothing ever changes
Level the playing field
But keep the pieces
In relative motion
I get it, I get it, I get it

Its always the same
These days
We live in an ashtray
Breathing Smoke
No you can't put a facade
Between yourself and the truth
You've got to break it down
Break it Down
Break it Down
We've been taking losses
We should be taking offices
We should be making promises
We intend to keep

It's always the same
Things change
But never when you need it
You can show us
The campaign
But no one's ever watching
Don't you get it?

It's always the same
A lead rain
But never on the front page
A red stain
But never on the hands
Of the ones
Who Pull the strings
