lyrics

They didn’t teach us anything,
They just filled us up with fear.
A history written by the victors
A god that’s never here.
They didn’t like us anyway
They knew we’d seen too much
The comings and goings of the men of the cloth,
Stealing souls with their filthy touch.

One day those faces turn to dust,
The tears that cut your face, nothing but rust.
And you’re finally in tune, with your favourite song
Made enough mistakes, to know your right from wrong.
They didn’t teach us anything,
Nothing we could use.
They made a bonfire of our dreams
Stood back and lit the fuse.
They didn’t trust us anyway.
They knew we had them sussed
One day, we’ll fly away
escape their filthy clutch.
Yeah one day those men’s face turn to dust,
The tears that cut your face, nothing but rust.
And you’re finally in tune, with your favourite song
Made enough mistakes, to know that you belong
Yeah one day all those faces turn to dust
Yeah one day all those tears, nothing but rust
And now you’re in tune with your favourite song
