  • Compassion is silent
    We live in a violent age
    Entitled triumphs over shame
    The language is violent
    Authority sees no shape
    It's now either or, no middle way

    I'm angry, but I'm not explicit
    The message was there, but you blinked and you missed it
    I'm trying not to disengage

    It's too late
    Too late for too many
    Filling in forms
    Waiting in line
    There's only so long you can wait

    I make what I can
    But the future gets further away
    You've gotta make what you can
    But the future gets further away
    It gets so far away that I find myself afraid
    That everything that I've worked for would be taken away

    So anachronistic
    Anachrony for a name
    And parliament laughing in our faces
    'Cause language is violent
    Is somebody on the take?
    We're feeling violence everyday

    I'm angry, but I'm not explicit
    The message was there, but you blinked and you missed it
    I'm trying not to disengage

    It's too late
    Too late for too many
    Filling in forms
    Waiting in line
    There's only so long you can wait

    I make what I can
    But the future gets further away
    You've gotta make what you can
    But the future gets further away
    It gets so far away that I find myself afraid
    That everything that I've worked for would be taken away
    I make what I can
    But the future gets further away
    You've gotta make what you can
    But the future gets further away
    It gets so far away that I find myself afraid
    That everything that I've worked for would be taken away Writer/s: Duncan Lloyd, Lukas Wooller, Paul Smith, Tom English
