Lyrics- Adrian Roye
Music- Adrian Roye and the Exiles
lyrics
I know it’s hard to see that we are sometimes wrong
the warning shot’s gone off
so if I let you down
no I won’t go with you
but I’ll see you on your way
it’s time to set the arms down
you can’t force change
I got a thing about winning everything
you just look up and shake your head
and let me get on with it
oh my days of discontent
to satisfy my will
and it’s ever-changing role
that you could never play
we both know each other well
won’t raise our hands
each stubborn as
it’s easier to lie than it is to ignore
maybe just try them all
and see who surrenders
there’s a battle up ahead
and we could just retreat
but we won’t move our feet
till the other goes first
you go
I’ll stay
we’ll carry on that way
