convulse (tarantella mix)
The Original Convulse from Scan Happen (It's About Time)
all the while the future lies convulsing on the table
& the experts don't seem able to control what's going on
for the safety of the nation, they'll consider amputation
of the rights & reputations of the ones who think they're wrong
your empire rots around your ears
as you line your nest with souvenirs
focus on myopic fears
but the aftermath's going to last for years
itch to scratch & cash to burn
all the pleas for peace you spurn
you've past the point of no return
you'll never learn, you'll never learn
handouts for the sovereign state
like you could care about their fate
but it's far too fucking little, man
& far too fucking late
all the while the future lies convulsing on the table
& the experts don't seem able to control what's going on
for the safety of the nation, they'll consider amputation
of the rights & reputations of the ones who think they're wrong
marching millions you ignored
but no one showed a proud accord
so you found a war that never ends
with which you can enich your friends
clamping down on human rights
darkness comes, you kill the lights
you're the ones we ought to fight
you're full of shite, you're full of shite
playground loyalties so puerile
aren't beneath your dignity
there will be a reckoning
largely 'cos you think there won't be
all the while the future lies convulsing on the table
& the experts don't seem able to control what's going on
but I'm fucked & I'm unshaven & I find my heart is craven
will the mass imagination just convulse & carry on?
