Billy Bragg - Accident Waiting To Happen lyrics

who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well

That's the way I am, heaven help me

He said we don't like peace campaigners round here

As he nailed another one to the wall

And that's what gets me in trouble, heaven help me

Goodbye and good luck

To all the promises you've broken

Goodbye and good luck

To all the rubbish that you've spoken

Your life has lost its dignity

Its beauty and its passion

You're an accident waiting to happen

There you are standing at the bar

And you're giving me grief about the DDR

And that chip on your shoulder gets bigger as you get older

One of these nights you're gonna get caught

It'll give you a pregnant pause for thought

You're a dedicated swallower of fascism

Time up and time out

For all the liberties you've taken

Time up and time out

For all the friends that you've forsaken

If you choose to waste away

Like death is back in fashion

You're an accident waiting to happen

My sins are so unoriginal

I have all the self loathing of a wolf in sheep's clothing

In this carnival of carnivores, heaven help me
