Majority

I used to put the flowers in the dressing room
I'm no longer a child I'm all grown up now
I've set them up seen them let me down
I've been in the crowd swirling round and round
All as one with those songs of Freedom
Saying all the things I could never say
And I rode with fate on a wing and a prayer
And there were four in the bed and the little one said
WE WERE RUNNING SO FAST
WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAD HIT US
AND WE WERE BLIND TO THE WORLD
AND THE WORLD WAS BLIND TO US
MAJORITY
LIKE THE MAJORITY
I see a sea of faces staring up
I hear the sound of my beloved in the crowd
She's saying give me a future
I want it now
I don't want my life to know any bounds
'Cause I'm young and I want to run
I don't care where to just as I'm with you
It could be you or you or you or you
And there were four in the bed and the little one said
WE WERE RUNNING SO FAST
WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAD HIT US
AND WE WERE BLIND TO THE WORLD
AND THE WORLD WAS BLIND TO US
MAJORITY
LIKE THE MAJORITY
I see them rise and I see them fall
The broken trust and the promises rust
When will another one bite the dust, bite the dust
Oh I see them rise and I see them fall
The broken trust and the promises rust
When will another one bite the dust, bite the dust
Bite the dust
Oh I give everything I've ever had to give
I bought the books, the records all the politics
It was all those words that shaped my dreams
There were times when I felt like a human being
I say hello
Are you listening now
I say hello
I say hello, hello
In the lost generation I'm calling out
There were four in the bed and the little one said
WE WERE RUNNING SO FAST
WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAD HIT US
AND WE WERE BLIND TO THE WORLD
AND THE WORLD WAS BLIND TO US
MAJORITY
LIKE THE MAJORITY
