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.
"K.O.S." said the warden when she arrived on the scene first
Heartattack, like the poet that needed another word
When they find out about recent issues
Don't be surprised that there's no one listening
Boltcutter, to break those bolts and chains
You've suffered more than anyone could take
Another person came to take your place
Another boltcutter
K-Mart, Price Collapse, and all the panels were buried
Beneath the corner of the manchester and the computers section
Where I got kidnapped and scarred
Falling from Grace was a big decision
Cos you have placed in the competition ring
Boltcutter, to break those bolts and chains
You've suffered more than anyone could take
Another person came to take your place
Another boltcutter... hey!
When you're getting old, is it better? [X4]
Now you're getting old, is it better?
When you're getting old, is it better?
You made this the competition it was never meant to be
Because of opportunist students
And if there was a pride, it was within yourself
Follow that road to the oldest city
Give me that rope and I'll show you how to swing
Boltcutter, to break those bolts and chains
You've suffered more than anyone could take
Another person came to take your place
Another boltcutter, hey!
