The Snake And The Crown

Today I got to thinking

The world's in a strange way

Feels like I'm at a 7-11 when a robbery takes place

Do I hide behind the counter with my hands covering my face

Or do I dive for the gunman

Before he makes his break,

Does a 45 go off

And the bullets richochet

This is not some random nightmare

See for me, this is everyday

(chorus)

I've been waiting for this train to come round

I've been waiting for this deal to go down

I've been looking for the things not found

So far, so far away

I'm just doing my best today

Cigarettes and alochol

And a few minutes to pray

But it don't do what it used to

So we'll have hell to pay

A penny for your thoughts

A penny for my cliches

I tried to get some distance

I tried to espace

But this nightmare's so persistent

In a shakespeare kind of way

Be not afraid

Oh, fuck that, be very afriad

(chorus)

Who sold out

We did we did

Who let you down

We did we did

Who...crown

We did
