Working On The Inside
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.
How to change the world? what a question
Too many answers bend and snap
Those who say that working on the inside
Really works - they get the sack
Cos you can't pretend you're an instant friend
to the people who want your soul on tap
So the question is how far did you get?
Well I've been there and I ain't going back
Ain't going back, I ain't going working on the inside
Well there's experience, know your enemy
But there's a choice you don't want to make
Can you handle the defeat of discovery?
Or can you live with the whole damn cake?
All defense of "never changing"
Changes when the chance has gone
So the question is how far do you go?
What do you mean "I won't belong"?
I won't belong, I won't be working on the inside
Now it's "us and them" when they're not our friends
and "part of the picture" when they are
Too many coins keep flipping me off
You got too near, now its gone too far
This world is screwed by politics
Apathy religion and crack
By playing the game its just more of the same
I ain't been there and I ain't going back
Well I ain't been there and I ain't going back
Well I ain't been there and I ain't going back
Well I ain't been there and I ain't going back
Well I ain't been there and I ain't going back
