Stiff Little Fingers - State Of Emergency lyrics

You're looking for something

But what could that be?

You look for a hero

Yeah don't look at me

You're looking around yourself

There's nothing you can find

You look for solutions

But hate has made you blind

You keep looking round you

For something thats in your mind

And you've spent the last ten years of your life

In this emergency

So please just don't sit there

Let's try to break out

From all the hatred

Suspicion and doubt

Try to change your life

That is no life at all

Try to break down the imaginary wall

And if you couldn't be bothered

Well then, my friend, you'll fall

And spend all the rest of your life

In this emergency
