lyrics

Pity

Never get enough time, never get enough sleep,
Never take your boots off please
Cause we are on call till the last chord rings out and the stage is struck
That’s all we are here for till the sun comes up
Complain about the days, complain about the ways
That they keep us from our dreams
But we are getting paid, we are tax free

Don’t pity your suffering
Can’t be bothered to stall
I can wait forever
I won’t be making a sound

Self defence, pity them, lock me up, for protecting
Anyone who’s willing

Don’t pity your suffering
Can’t be bothered to stall
I can wait forever
I won’t be making a sound

Don’t pity your suffering
Can’t be bothered to fall
I will wait forever
I won’t be making a sound

Stay safe; stay brave, stay with this?
Play it safe; be afraid but not of this
Selfish things silently
I have been calling, hold me, don’t be afraid

Lock you up for protecting, or leave me out
