The movers and the shakers…
I just don't know how to bring about
Your downfall, damn fool go figure out
How those Christian bones can orchestrate?
Shock and awe
Can't find peace to rave about
Shade from trees to sit and celebrate
Space between these graves to cultivate
Anymore
No time to grieve or think about
Plans to search for grace, investigate
How this holy mess could generate love at war
Listen follow
Follow closely
It's closely sinking
'Cos the war is moving
Getting closer to you
You feel it breathing
That stinking feeling
It's what I'm thinking for
Don't want to fight for a feeling
(the movers and the shakers)
We need a spud and not a peeling
(the movers and the shakers)
Don't need another undertaker
(the movers and the shakers)
Be a mover and a shaker
(the movers and the shakers)
I can't hide much
I can't hide much
Listen follow
Follow closely
It's closely sinking
'Cos the war is moving
It's getting closer to you
You feel it breathing
That stinking feeling
It's what I'm thinking for
It's what I'm thinking for
It's why I'm thinking for
It's what I'm thinking for
I just can't hide much
I just can't hide much
I just can't hide much
I just can't hide much
I just can't hide much
Don't want to fight for a feeling
We need a better kinder dreaming
Don't need another fool, a faker
Be a mover and a shaker
