"Accident Waiting To Happen"
Artist: Billy Bragg
I've always been impressed with a girl
Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well.
That's the way I am
heaven help me.
He said we don't like peace campaigners round here
As he nailed another one to the wall
And that's what gets me in trouble
heaven help me.
Goodbye and good luck
To all the promises you've broken.
Goodbye and good luck
To all the rubbish that you've spoken.
Your life has lost its dignity
Its beauty and its passion
You're an accident waiting to happen
There you are standing at the bar
And you're giving me grief about the DDR
And that chip on your shoulder get bigger as you get older
One of these nights you're gonna get caught
It'll give you a pregnant pause for thought
You're a dedicated swallower of fascism.
Time up and time out
For all the liberties you've taken.
Time up and time out
For all the friends that you've forsaken.
If you chose to waste away
Like death is back in fashion
You're an accident waiting to happen!
My sins are so unoriginal
I have all the self loathing of a wolf in sheep's clothing.
In this carnival of carnivores
heaven help me .
Goodbye and good luck
To all the promises you've broken.
Goodbye and good luck
To all the rubbish that you've spoken.
Your life has lost its dignity
Its beauty and its passion
You're an accident waiting to happen.
