Lyrics It Failed To Explode - Napalm Death

It failed to explode
Talk is cheap
A euphoric reflex as tensions overheat
Action comes cheap
Romance and emancipate, romance and emancipate
As tensions overheat
As tensions overheat
Define liberty
But a short-lived reprieve until it's once again displaced?
Grievances cease?
To hang on tenterhooks until, to hang on tenterhooks until...
It's once again displaced?
It's once again displaced?
It failed to depose
It stalled at the coming to blows
It failed to explode
Explode, explode
Celebratory in the debris
Deceptive empirical collapse
Yet...
It failed to atone
It failed to explode
Sadly illusive in its epoch-making
Pocket change for a moment of peace
Because...
It failed to disown
It failed to explode
There's always a hole to fill
Circumventing convictions
Autocratic traits are the constant
If at first (to appease) with a different spin
It failed to explode
Outside watchers beat their brows
Nurturing vested interests
Is the infinite struggle worth it
When there's always a hole to fill?
It failed to explode
It failed to explode
