New Model Army Ghost Of Caine Lights Go Out Sullivan/Heaton I went to my mother, Said - please make me king I went to my mother Said - I've got to be king She said son - well you've got to wait your turn Patience is a virtue that you never seemed to learn You were born with nothing, to nothing you'll return Now, now the lights go out There's no warning Now, now the lights go out There's no reason Now, now the voices cry We don't want need you I went to my father Said please make me king Went to my father Said - I've got to be king He said son - you've got to do your time I've done 53 years but I haven't yet done mine You're just one of the millions waiting in line Now, now the lights go out... History gave us meaning, gave us a place Gave my father reasons for the lines on his face But we asked for the money and money they gave And God how that made us easy to enslave So today at the office we picked up the cheque The handshake of gold, the stab in the back The old man went home silent and bowed The young men went drinking, drowning it out So in every street, in every town Comes some young pretender Just running for a crown - take it - take it all But now, now the lights go out... |
