Chumbawamba - After Shelley lyrics

rate me

"Anybody can press a button and blow up a ship. Anybody can use an atom bomb.

Anybody can pick up a big whip, and whip you. Anybody can stick a knife into

you. Anybody can pull a trigger. But where's the man with the character, as can

take a punch on the nose and keep his temper, keep control of himself?"

The seed you sow, another reaps

The wealth you find, another keeps

The clothes you weave, another wears

The arms you forge, another bears

The songs you write, another sings

The heart you lose, another wins

The food you bake, another eats

Poison-laced and oh, so sweet

Rock and Roll

Check your pulse

Art or death

True or false

Can't stay young

Can't grow old

Overpriced

Undersold
