Lyrics
The Gears
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
London’s still burning down
Revolution need’s returning now
For wasted youth in topman jeans
Out on the frontline
Just canaries in the coalmine
So sick at heart that you can’t breathe
So sing alone like it’s the last time
And throw your bodies on the gears
We’ll have the party of a lifetime
You’ll hear it ringing in your ears
I came from old town
Soon enough they kicked me off the high ground
Booze and barbiturates keeping me down
So sing along like it’s the last time
And throw your bodies on the gears
This is the party of a lifetime
You’ll hear it ringing in your
Oh-oh-oh
So sing along like it’s the last time
And throw your bodies on the gears
The sound of apathy of freedom
You’ll hear it ringing in your ears
