Haytor - The Headlines Lyrics

Lying through your twisted smile
You tell the world that everything's okay
Death to all the passengers
Who flee the wars that you campaigned to wage
Hid behind a suit and tie
You twist the headlines so they swing your way
They come and go and leave behind a debt for us to pay
Have we hit the ceiling
Or are we being held by a weight
Save us from this sickness
Before we drift away
Drinking wine and trading smiles
Whilst shores abroad are suffering from the pain
Preaching hope by financing
A photo-op of joy beside a cage
Every month a new recruit
To pacify the people in the way
They come and go and no one knows
Have we hit the ceiling
Or are we being held by a weight
Save us from this sickness
Before we drift away
Hey
Have we hit the ceiling
Or are we being held by a weight
Save us from this sickness
Before we drift away
