lyrics

A faraway look, a story on your face
I started talking but had no point to make
Normal for the spider is chaos for the fly
It's neither night nor morning, I have no cause to earn my stripes

You spoke and shook your head, pushed some coins across the bar
You told me I could never earn as much or work as hard
The things you hold so dear don't mean that much to me
It's neither night nor morning, I feel so tired just leave me be

I'm sorry I can't find a way to frame this
That makes you look anything else but selfish
The words you speak make my blood run cold
That a man could want more than his children could own

Now I clean the mess you left and I realise this is nothing new
Putting out a fire with petrol is a stupid fucking thing to do
You didn't even chew, just swallowed down the lot
It's neither night nor morning, we are not broke we're being robbed

I'm sorry I can't find a way to frame this
That makes you look anything else but selfish
The words you speak make my blood run cold
That a man could want more than his children could own

You say these kids today don't know they're born
Two jobs and bills to pay should keep them warm
The things you say make my bloody run cold
That a man could want more, so much more
That a man could want more than his children could own
