Ten Years Asleep
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.
It wouldn't happen in another world
It couldn't have happened to a nicer planet
It would've happened in another world
So don't pretend to care when you don't care
Ten years asleep
In the queue for the late night bus
With all of us
Breakfast television
Is the biggest decision I've made
In the last decade
It wouldn't happen in another world
It couldn't have happened to a nicer planet
It would've happened in another world
So don't pretend to care when you don't care
Ten years asleep
It'll be far too late
To call 0898
Ten years asleep
Every mind is UXB
So don't pretend that...
It wouldn't happen in another world
It couldn't have happened to a nicer planet
It would've happened in another world
So don't pretend to care when you don't care
All the punks are pushing thrity years
And are hardly feared
All the young dudes
Work for all the old brutes
In expensive suits
Ten years asleep
'cause your grave is empty
But already dug
Ten years of sleeping knees
Instead of news
So don't complain that...
It wouldn't happen in another world
It couldn't have happened to a nicer planet
It would've happened in another world
So don't pretend to care when you don't care
There, there, there
