Lie of the Land - The Alarm

Too young to care too old to fight

Ain’t bothered about your life

Drop out far out don’t go to school

Get out while the going’s good

Sign up for the dole dig a hole

For your bone and moan ain’t got any cash

Hedonistic man with your can

And your head of sand

Take the lie of the land

Let’s keep the flames of hope alive

And never let the fires die

Take the lie of the land

Today don’t wait don’t hesitate

Get out there join a march

Join hands make plans and take a chance

On the right hand side of the road

Avoid the gang of the man named Vicious Henry

And his friend called Billy Whizz

Don’t stay in the dark where the sharks

Will rip you off they’re gonna tear you apart

Let’s keep the flames of hope alive

And never let the fires die

Take the lie of the land

(we ain’t lying)

And at home you’re alone You’re the people

That your parents warned you about

And all your walls are adorned with protest

And you always quote the

Let’s keep the flames of hope alive

And never let the fires die

Take the lie of the land

Let’s keep the flames of hope alive

And never forget that if the fires die

There’d be no lie to the land

Take the lie of the land

(Take the lie of the land)

Take the lie of the land

Take a lie

Take a lie

Take a lie

Take a lie of the land
