Beg Your Pardon lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Beg Your Pardon lyrics Chorus: Beg the question, bend the truth         Bail out the basement while there s holes in the roof In the beginning they said there was light There ain t much left of it now We re lost in the darkness, searching sound and sight Of an answer to the what, where or how We re talking bout freedom while we re locked in a cell Dreaming of a world without war Forced to live on the boundaries of hell Like no-one s ever thought of peace before What s the point of preaching peace if it s something you don t feel? What s the point of talking love if you think that love ain t real? Where s the hope in hopelessness?  Where s the truth in lies? Don t try to hold my hand if you can t look me in the eyes Chorus In the beginning they said there was light But somebody s burnt out the fuse And now we re all lost in eternal night Looking for a candle to use Lots of little candles, isolated hope Frail little flames in the gale Lost little people who just can t cope Knocking their heads on the nail What s the point of talking freedom if you just protect yourself? What s the point of preaching sharing as you accumulate your wealth? It s so easy to be giving if the things you give ain t real It s easy to lie if your ignore the things you feel Chorus In the beginning they said there was light But we never had the eyes to see But rather than struggling or putting up a fight We ran like lemmings to the sea No-one really wants to get it all together It s easier to just grab what you can Everybody s going it, hell for leather Building little castles in the sand Hypocrisy, delusion, lies, pretence, deceit Think only of yourself and the world s at your feet I don t believe the things you say, you make bullshit of the truth The game you play s offensive and you life s the living proof Chorus (x 2) In the beginning they said there was light But I m tired of hearing their lies I m tired of deceit, gonna put up a fight I m going to use my own eyes Gonna make MY decisions, live my own life They can keep their darkness and gloom Hypocrisy, trickery, I ve had enough They can keep their destruction and doom I ve only one life and I ll live it my way They can keep their restrictions and law If they think different I ll have one thing to say "Fuck off cos I ve heard it before" song lyrics
