about

Written on the drive home from a gig at The Adelphi in Hull on 21st April 2012, and bashed into shape when I got home. An unashamed attack on the twin evils of blind acquiescence and wage slavery; also a note to self 'Must do better'....

lyrics

In the City of Reason, you queue on the corner of doubt
Like a wise man who whispers at fools who are drowning him out
And if ever there's writing there, someone will whitewash the wall
You're just like the others here
You're learning to crawl

When you tell that story, you're showered in glory it seems
You're a Working Class Hero, yeah, just like you are in your dreams
But here in your company tie you're not walking so tall
You're just like the others here
You're learning to crawl

So we crawl to the corner and queue at the end of the street
Not a one of us wondering if as one we rose to our feet
Would we each find that we had the answer right here after all?
If we stood shoulder-to-shoulder
Instead of just learning to crawl
