Holloways - I Should Say Something lyrics

rate me

It was only this morning that I realised, <br />

My conscience was sleeping while I've been alive.<br />

The things in the past that I let pass me bye<br />

And now I regret that I never did stop to ask why.<br />

<br />

The man with the bag and the walking stick limps up and down my road<br />

The kids in the cafe they point and laugh where is their moral code.<br />

<br />

I should say something but I say nothing I haven't got the nerve.<br />

He's in the twilight years of his life this ain't what he deserves.<br />

<br />

The high street fright on a Friday night, a coward hits his lady, <br />

Cries out "bitch" you must be mad why do you disobey me.<br />

We should do something but we do nothing, the public eye turns blind<br />

Domestic violence, is met with silence, in our pathetic times<br />

<br />

And would she have said yes, when wearing her white dress, if violence was included in his vows.<br />

I'm sure that she hates it, but she tolerates it, she's married to him now.<br />

<br />

The starving girl cries on TV, dying in a third world nightmare<br />

Slouching back we sympathise from the comfort of our armchairs<br />

<br />

We should give something but we give nothing only a little is changed<br />

It's quite appalling when tears are falling more often than the rain<br />

<br />

And if you see a mother swear at her poor innocent child<br />

Do you ever stop and say to her why are you so wild.<br />

That kid will grow up to be a fuck-up just like his dear young mum.<br />

His little heart is falling apart under your spiteful tongue<br />

<br />

Does this kid deserve this, born into a right mess, the sad thing is he's not the only one.<br />

I'm sure that he hate it, but he tolerates it, the boy can't choose his mum<br />

<br />

So if you're walking around with your head in the cloud with the lost souls at your feet.<br />

Bear in mind that all mankind may need some sympathy - don't you agree?</
