The Levellers - Broken Circles lyrics

He thought to bring the world around

Sleepless nights with God and Christ

The new messiah

To burn the world, to change the days

Can be done in better ways

But to make the news and front page

You've got to aim higher

They didn't build Jerusalem

They couldn't find the land

For reasons of security

They couldn't get the plans

CHORUS

And we're left standing watching from below

No new songs and no new heroes

Standing on the sidelines watching the flow

Waiting till the day the circle's broken

Took the mic to save the day

The rock star's going to have his say

Interpret this in any way as if it matters

'Cos nothing's black and nothing's white

Nothing appears to be quite right

It'll be this way until the day

The circle's shattered

I heard an old song yesterday

About a better world

You know the story

They're all the same

The boy gets the girl

CHORUS

>From the tips of your fingers

The rest is numb

YTou begin to feel the warmth of the sun

It's slipping away, been taken away

All you once knew

Taking it back takes all you've got

No time to sit and watch it rot

Believe it's yours and not the lies

Or all hell to you

CHORUS
