Burning Fence

You're apprehensive 'bout the local comprehensive
And the schools you can't get into
Change your job sell your house pretend to get a faith
Go to church and pray for a new merc or volvo
What's the truth it's just a new way of lying channel
Switchin channel flickin too much choice you're veggin out
Don't wanna be a loner or out on your own
Get in the zone turn up the megaphone
Climb on board the mothership revolution
The true universal is the one solution
How long you gonna sit on a burning fence
Don't matter what you're for only what you're against
They bought a dream now they can't wake up
(Gonna wake you up)
Don't need a reason 'cos no reason is reason enough
They're all demanding whose side you're on
(Who's side I'm on)
How many points you need to be a true citizen
Don't wanna choose between a liar and a thief
Blood red, pale blue, both pretending to be green
So far from home in this home from home
Get out my way here comes a molotov latte
Climb on board the mothership revolution
The true universal is the one solution
How long you gonna sit on a burning fence
Don't matter what you're for only what you're against [2x]
Who's gonna be the next to rise up and chant
Who's the piggy in the middle now
Who's gonna be the next to rise up and chant
Keep on running, running from the middle ground
Who's gonna be the next to rise up and chant
Riot start in IKEA
Who's gonna be the next to rise up and chant
Rise in the buzzword battleground
Rise goin' nowhere faster now
Rise in the buzzword battleground
Climb on board the mothership revolution
The true universal is the one solution
How long you gonna sit on a burning fence
Don't matter what you're for only what you're against [2x]
