Our Nalli

Little tramp comin' up the strip with a hundred dollar smile Sparks flyin' off her fingertips, drive the young cop wild Some nights are wound so tight like a storm about to break Better stand in your doorway when everything starts to shake You get restless like a cat waking up at midnight, Hungry, never quite satisfied This is our world and these are our times This is our world and these are our times Little brother like a street god with a drop dead attitude Say he's looking like a shadow now, runnin' low on green and food Some lives are wound up tight like a wave about to crash Hard times seem to multiply while the joy runs out so fast You get restless like a kid crawling out of a bad dream Hungry, never quite satisfied This is our world, and these are our times This is our world, and these are our times This is our world, and these are our times This is our world, and these are our times Make way for the son of a rebel wired to a bottle of flame He's got two black eyes and a Purple heart and a bone hangin' on a chain These times are like dynamite, a head on history Some fool's bound to burn it all down, don't care about you and me He'll get desperate like a child in the eye of a nightmare Hungry, never quite satisfied This is our world, and these are our times This is our world, and these are our times This is our world, and these are our times This is our world, and these are our times

Coward, count your days before they fall away 'Cause everyone can now see right through you Somewhere along the line you lost all conviction Blurring the truth between fact and fiction Another promise you failed to deliver Your words they slip through the sinking sand To think I once called you friend Well, I won't make that mistake again Just like an hour glass, your time is running out You self-centred misguided fuck You thought we'd all sit so idly by Well, now you know Save your breath, we've all heard it before The lambs you lead to slaughter Are now the wolves right at your door And they're baying for your blood Wake up, wake up, it's your move now Take the keys to your kingdom 'Cause I'll always be the thorn in your crown I guess it's lonely at the top, when the only way is down Let's set the record straight, another lesson learnt You set yourself alight and watched your bridges burn You watched your bridges burn And I still can't quite believe That guilt isn't one of your faculties Again and again you never fail to surprise me I hoped by now you'd have realised That if this isn't enough I guess I'll tell you straight You can't rewrite the past now you've sealed your fate The odds are against you So worm your way out of this one 'cause we all know Save your breath, we've all heard it before The lambs you lead to slaughter Are now the wolves right at your door And they're baying for your blood Wake up, wake up, it's your move now Take the keys to your kingdom 'Cause I'll always be the thorn in your crown I guess it's lonely at the top, when the only way is down Save your breath, we've all heard it before The lambs you lead to slaughter Are now the wolves right at your door And they're baying for your blood Wake up, wake up, it's your move now Take the keys to your kingdom 'Cause I'll always be the thorn in your crown I guess it's lonely at the top, when the only way is down Well, now you know
