Livin' On A Thin Line - Dave Davies

All the stories have been told

Of kings and days of old

But there’s no England now (there's no England now)

All the wars that were won and lost

Somehow don’t seem to matter very much anymore

All the lies we were told (all the lies we were told)

All the lies of the people running round

Their castles have burned

Now I see change

But inside we’re the same as we ever were

Living on a thin line

Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)

Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)

Living this way, each day is a dream

What am I, what are we supposed to do?

Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)

Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Now another century nearly gone (gone)

What are we gonna leave for the young?

What we couldn’t do, what we wouldn’t do

It’s a crime, but does it matter?

Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?

Does it ever really matter?

Yes, it really, really matters

Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)

Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)

Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Then another leader says

«Break their hearts and break some heads»

Is there nothing we can say or do?

Blame the future on the past

Always lost in bloody guts

And when they’re gone, it’s me and you

Living on a thin line

Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)

Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Living on a thin line
