Jam - Set The House Ablaze Lyrics
I was in the pub last nightA mutual friend of ours saidHed seen you in the uniformYeah the leather belt looks manlyThe black boots butchBut oh what a bastard to get offPromises, promisesThey offer real solutionsBut hatred has never won for longYou was so open mindedBut by someone blindedAnd now your sign says closed.Promises, promisesThey offer real solutionsBut hatred has never won for longI think weve lost our perception -I think weve lost sight of the goals we shouldBe working forI think weve lost our reasonWe stumble blindly and that vision must be restored!I wish that there was somethingI could do about itI wish that there was some wayI could try to fight itScream and shout it -But something you said set the house ablaze!It is called indoctrinationAnd it happens on all levelsBut it has nothing to do with equalityIt has nothing to do with democracyAnd though it professes toIt has nothing to do with humanityIt is cold, hard and mechanical.
