Plunkett - We're the ones (in the sun) lyrics

rate me

I, think of ’39 and folk just like me

Torn, from their minds their wives their homes and families

Apathy’s cruel but it’s warm in my bed

And I can do anything if I’ve the money to spend

I, think of ’69 and folk just like me

Dazed, by the lunar race, small step for a new mankind

Hold on, when was the last time we could say we were surprised?

Come on, when was the last time that we flinched deep inside?

Or tried?

I, think about my life and folk just like me

Tied, to this brave new world of hope consuming reasons for why

Hold on, when was the last time we could say we watched the sky?

Come on, when was the last time that we cared about life?

So we shy

From ourselves

And deny

Apathy rules if we give what we get

And we can buy anything except the truth and what’s dead

We think of ourselves and we’re just everyone else

We could all be our kings you know

If we see who we are

We’re the ones in the sun
