The Levellers - 100 Years Of Solitude lyrics

Wanna feel the sun of a new day

Forget all the chances lost

Shedding innocence like falling dust

All the things you learned too young

The songs you knew but never sung

Waited a long time and wasted more

Forgotten what you waited for

CHORUS

Excuse me ma'am for being so rude

Feels like 100 years of solitude

My mind is numb but my houth's okay

And you can listen or walk away

Nos solution's built to last

Just petty scores to settle past

The N.M.E. was nothing to you

And the maker, well, the maker of who

This Walkman generation

In search of sweet sedation

Shile forests choke under a 'lever sky

And the Exxon birds that'll never fly

CHORUS

We tried we cried we fell we lied

This life's like a white knuckle ride

Crack babies born too young

And L.A. kids who dance to the gun

So forget this so called dirt of mine

It's just the dust and diesel of passing time

It's all around you-a tragedy, look

So forget the cover and read the book

CHORUS
