Carnation

A story of loss tonight
Red skylights over eastern skylines
Peoples lives lost, people living afraid
Smug satisfaction on the politician's face

Where were you when they told what was to come?

Burn every suit alive
Who never stuck their neck out
And what will I say to my children when they ask why it's this way?

Burn every suit alive
Who never stuck their neck out
And what will I say to my children when they ask why it's this way?

Burn every suit alive
Who never stuck their neck out
And what will I say to my children when they ask why it's this way?

Burn every suit alive
Who never stuck their neck out
And what will I say to my children when they ask why it's this way?

And I hope you're happy
Cause when the rich get richer
It's the lower class who pay
It's the lower class who pay

And I hope you're happy
Cause when the rich get richer
It's the lower class who pay
It's the lower class who pay

Hard to see from your modern tower
Lined with grief from the mothers
Hard to see from your modern tower
Lined with grief from the mothers

Hard to see from your modern tower
Lined with grief from the mothers
Hard to see from your modern tower
Lined with grief from the mothers
