Get Back into Line (Explicit)

from A Matter of Time by Ferocious Designs

/

about

Originally written in January 2013, this song was a reaction to the Tea Party-led shutdown of the U.S. federal government. It was also influenced by Midge Ure, who I had just seen live at the time. If you listen closely enough, you can hear hints of Ultravox's "Vienna."

lyrics

I know what you're thinking
I know your pretense
But I won't subscribe
To your world of nonsense

You may think you're right
But your thinking is flawed
Your vision is blinded
Your feelings unthawed

The world keeps on passing you by
But you refuse to let go
Of some sense of values imagined
From a long time ago
From a long time ago

You talk about freedom
But that is not true
You want to subject us
To your point of view

Just go live your life
And just let me live mine
Get over yourself
And stop wasting our time

The world isn't yours to lord over
We all have to share
So stop looking out for yourself
And...try starting to care
Try starting to care
Why don't you care?
Why don't you care?

It's time to speak up and it's time to cry out
Your way of the world is not what life's about
We all need to live and that's where we're the same
But we're not some pawns that you play in your game
The things that you say drive me out of my mind
Stop with your bullshit, get back into line

Your thinking's not right
Your logic is flawed
Your vision is blinded
Your feeling's unthawed
Just go live your life
And I'll go live mine
Stop fucking around
And stop wasting our time

The world keeps on passing you by
But you refuse to let go
Of some sense of values imagined
From a long time ago
From a long time ago

The world isn't yours to lord over
We all have to share
So stop looking out for yourself
And...try starting to care
Try starting to care

The world keeps on passing you by
But you refuse to let go
Of some sense of values imagined
From a long time ago
From a long time ago
