lyrics

They’re stunned with delight - The creatures uptight
Mocking the vote - Sidelined for life
Come on now, people turn on now
A focus so slight - Consuming on sight
Pushed to the brink - Destroyed someone’s life
Come on now, people turn on now

My, my, my charming life - I tried to improve it
My, my, my precious time - I burned right through it

Unwinding the chains - Breaking it down
Removing yourself - Complacent and bound
Come on now, people turn on now
The wind’s ripe with change - Conditions remain
Invest in the past - You’re playing the/a game
Come on now, people turn on now

My, my, my charming life - I tried/try to improve it
My, my, my precious time - I’ll stop burning through it

I try, try, try to join this/the fight
I try, try, tried to get it right

The apathy crowd - Relentlessly proud
Indifferent to change - Live here and now
Come on now, people turn on now
No one thinks right - No sanctions in sight
Run for effect - Imploding your life
Come on now, people turn on now
