Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was a reasonable take
But in the time that it took
To find a beat in the break
The needle combing through the grooves of your mind
Had already stuck, and
So you turned to a friend
You asked them what they had left
They stuck their hand down the back of their pants
And said, "I think the conversation might be reaching an end"
[Verse 2]
I said, "We can't have that"
Pour another for my brother
Sister, or whichever other you'd prefer we call ya
Yeah, there's no judgement, only understanding
While we're standing 'round, hand-in-hand
Watching the world burn
[Verse 3]
I saw the narrative peak
Though it was not evident
As we agreed that everything was so bleak
That giving your two pence on anything
It wasn't worth a fucking thing
So we had become friends
Though, I do not know your name
And come the morning following the night that everything changed
I was ashamed to recognise that everything's still the same
[Verse 4]
I said, "We can't have that"
Pour another for my brother
Sister, or whichever other you'd prefer we call ya
Yeah, there's no judgement, only understanding
While we're standing 'round, hand-in-hand
Watching the world burn
[Verse 5]
I said, "We can't have that"
Pour another for my brother
Sister, or whichever other you'd prefer we call ya
Yeah, there's no judgement, only understanding
While we're standing 'round, hand-in-hand
Watching the world burn
[Verse 6]
We can't have that
Pour another for my brother
Sister, or whichever other you'd prefer we call ya
Yeah, there's no judgement, only understanding
While we're standing 'round, hand-in-hand
Watching the world burn
[Verse 7]
Standing 'round, hand-in-hand, watching the world burn
Standing 'round, hand-in-hand, watching the world burn
Standing 'round, hand-in-hand, watching the world burn
Standing 'round, hand-in-hand, watching the world burn
