PARENTAL WARNING: Contains explicit lyrics

Flatline Town

Friday night and the sirens blaring, strangers in the shadow and the needle sharing
'Tell you what I'll do, try a little for free, but you better tell your friends come and buy it from me'
Saturday night in the fountain square, over rivers of piss, where they stand and stare,
Fighting for a right, rebels with no cause,it's a flatline town and the death bell tolls,

Oh no what would you give, oh no, not live
Oh no what would you give, not to live in a flatline town.

See the dead man walking, and he's barely a man, with a spring in his step from a cider can,
Better hope your daughters are on the pill, do we really need another one like him?
A rebel for what, for the living he's owed, in cotton wool state and he seeds we've sowed
A shattered reflection and a sign of the times, he's ruined her looks with a bottle of wine.

Chorus

At the age of eighty four she deserved a little respect.....there ain't no respect in a flatline town
She was spat on, shat on, beaten and raped.....there ain't no respect in a flatline town
She was working on munitions in 1939......there ain't no respect in a flatline town
Now they've shattered her jaw, and they've shattered her spine....

Chorus

Please don't crucify me, don't nail me to a tree
I cannot take you to a promised land, and if I could I wouldn't set you free
In a land of hope and glory, though all these years of hurt
Your Messiah wears wears a sovereign ring, and a knocked off Burberry shirt

Chorus
