lyrics

So here we are again old friends
Three close enemies all holding hands in bed
They're dressed to kill, in the most literal sense
Fake plastic smiles, and a gun against our heads
Is their idea of solving problems when they all put us in this mess

What's so great about it
Who holds the secret to our countries name
These cold shores, our prison walls
This is my Alcatraz, theres no escape

And so another blue day begins
Our betrayers meet by the river Thames
They take their seats, Big Ben strikes ten
Dismiss our problems, repeat over again
When will it stop, when will it end
How much longer can we pretend,
That everything's alright, everything is fine
They take from us but win our minds

What's so great about it
Who holds the secret to our countries name
These cold shores, our prison walls
This is my Alcatraz, theres no escape
If I could grow the wings to fly
I'd up and leave this place behind
The red, blue and gold sold our nations soul

Fear is what they teach today
We're gripped so tight that we can barely breathe
They'd cut us just to watch us bleed
Will we stand back and watch them do it?
NO!

Lets make history!

We'll change everything
Almost anything
We won't stand back, and let them take us for another ride
We won't stand back!

What's so great about it
Who holds the secret to our countries name
These cold shores, our prison walls
this is my Alcatraz, theres no escape
If I could grow the wings to fly
I'd up and leave this place behind
The red, blue and gold sold our nations soul

If I could grow the wings to fly
I'd up and leave this place behind
The red, blue and gold sold our nations soul
