lyrics

One more time around the same block
A tired mind and a ticking clock
Through all the same old jokes and stories
Dated lines and former glories
You can empty every bottle that you find
But the bottom of the bottle will always be dry

I'm quite sure you've got nothing at all worth talking about
You feel no shame, you shift the blame, then sit back and watch the flame
I'm suite sure you've got nothing at all worth talking about
You poke and plead for sympathy but you will never get a shred of it from me

You misdirect your fury
Judge, executioner and jury
You swear that you could make us safer
With lies from tabloid right wing papers
It's a pretty depressing sign of the times
When ideas of justice and fairness are considered something wild

I'm quite sure you've got nothing at all worth talking about
You feel no shame, you shift the blame, then sit back and watch the flame
I'm suite sure you've got nothing at all worth talking about
You poke and plead for sympathy but you will never get a shred of it from me

You might be alright Jack, but if we always go down swinging
One step forward, two steps back, when do we get our turn at winning
The time has come for unity, to know our enemy
I will not fear the things you think you see

I'm quite sure you've got nothing at all worth talking about
You feel no shame, you shift the blame, then sit back and watch the flame
I'm suite sure you've got nothing at all worth talking about
You poke and plead for sympathy
Cry out loud in disbelief
Through all your negativity
You will never get a shred of it from me
