Forward, Russia! - A Shadow Is A Shadow Is A Shadow lyrics

rate me

Mary paced the street again

She always made her mark and yet

She's got the same regrets

As any other in her town

Michael walked the street again

The seventh time he

Trawled these lands this weekend

Still he had

A thought that he could never shake

Was this right

Is this world so full of hate

I wanted to say

Pacing down the street again

A briskly-striding silhouette

He's walking with the same regret

As every other villain does

And it's true we are filled

With grief and pain

I wanted to say

That what you do is only on your own conscience now

Life is not a series of your own photographs

Thousands made the protest march

They thought they were so strong

And yet they've got the same regrets

As any other pitchfork-wielding mass

We are all criticised for vacancy

I wanted to say

That we can all be occupied

By regrets and foolish hate

We all are the same

And the rebels closed

After years it was time to pretend

I wanted to say

This is not the end

If you want to change

Racing through the streets again

They all race worried for their hurt

And yet they've got the same regrets

As any other who has salt on their tongue

Who has lines on their face

I wanted to say

I wanted to say

But you should have seen this coming

Life is a process

Hey
