Songtexte Ruby Slippers - Motorcycle Display Team

Haven't you taken all I've got to steal?
Stripped of
Dignity
Go on to make me feel it's all my fault
Where guilt spreads
ugly

Like a bruise turning blue to black
And spread across my back
From a fall I could not foresee
Where slowly I climb to my knees

There I see that Question Time
Spinning lines
Not answers
Let alone truth

Haven't you told me all there was to crow?
And carrion should know
Pick the bones clean and suck the marrow dry
Extinguish hope

Like a bruise turning blue to black
And spread across my back
From a fall I could not foresee
And slowly I climb to my knees

There I see that apathy
Have you forsaken me?
I was ever-faithful
Now I'm a ruin
Don't you see that it's just me
In the conspiracy
To stand and be counted
On my own
On my own

Not me, nor us
And neither Anonymous
Makes a fuck of difference
And comedy
Is powerless to this degree
Satire's a distraction
For a middle class
Dragged down into the morass
To bicker irrelevant
When we sang Ding Dong
It turns out that we were wrong
We don't wear the ruby
Slippers
