I Don't Want To Know (2nd Album Lyrics Preview)

I think I've been here before
At the bar - by the door
Through the smoke, coke and glass
I didn’t notice time passing on

I went down to the sea
The waves whispered to me
"Come and flow with the tide
Come and sink down inside me

If you can't comprehend
The means and the end
If you don't want to know anymore”

So many things you've been told
So fine they shine like fools gold
I watch greed take its toll
On your nine carat soul

If you don't understand
If you cry for this land
If you don't want to know anymore

Here's another creed out on crusade
Here's another principle parade
Here's another twisted thought tirade
Here's another lie to live for

Bang the drums - Bang in the nails
For Sacred Cows and Holy Grails
For bombs and Somme’s and Paschendale’s
Here's another dream to die for

From the passion and pain
Through the sacred - profane
Well I don't want to know anymore

Here's another karma cracked and crazed
Unrepentant – Unamazed
Here's another sword and standard raised
Here's another lie to live for

Here's another child born fair of face
Schooled in dogma and disgrace
Now here's another messed-up master race
And here's another dream to die for

So beat your wife or beat the walls
Sink your pint and drain your balls
Then up for work 'cos duty calls
And here's another lie to live for

Convince yourself your still alive
By clocking on from nine to five
You don't exist - You just survive
And here's another dream to die for
Another dream to die for
Another dream to die for
Another dream to die for
Another dream to die for

- I think I’ve been here before……
