SET THEM UP

Set them up, using power tricks and politics
Set them up, you see them for what they really are,
They’re looking for a fall
With their arrogance and cold disdain,
So you should set them up.
If you can’t do that, then leave the show

Down the back roads,
Through the night, nobody
Wants to stop you and ask
Which side are you on?

I go from bad to nervous,
But surely I deserve it,
Split seconds are the difference between
Reality and dream

Take my bow and I fire an arrow,
Aiming for the eye of a silver needle
You said, ‘my heart will give up one day’,
So I cut my cloth accordingly
And showed the grey how to burst into life
Showed the grey how to burst into life,
But nobody is free, can you feel satisfied?
Nobody is free, can you feel satisfied,
Staring blank at the hole in the wall,
Living in hope, in the best world

Set them up
Cos I got myself together again,
I’d been asleep so long, but
Now I arise and I feel alive
So I don’t have to stay
With these discontented men you see here
With your very eyes
If you drink with them, they won’t feel cold

When all the storms are violent
And night is coming faster
Leave doubt by the side of the road
This could be my day.
Now that it’s getting colder,
And night is coming faster,
Leave doubt by the side of the road
This might just be my day.
