The Skalps - Slingshots and Arrows Lyrics



The Skalps - Slingshots and Arrows Lyrics




Open the papers
Turn on the news
Survey the headlines
Its all doom and gloom
Mountains erupting
There's bodies in lakes
There's nothing but bad news
Coming my way
Slingshots and arrows
The forecast is cold
Suicides up ten percent
So I'm told
The mirror the sun
Yeah they all Say the same
Dennis O Brian's
In the news once again

Yeah, what I wouldn't give
To be somewhere
Anywheres better than this
What I wouldn't give to be
Somewhere

Landslides and earthquakes
Explosions and war
Millions left homeless
I can't much more
Propaganda and bullshit
Pumped into our eyes
If it isn't bad news
Then it's right wing lies
Slingshots and arrows
Gunshots and crime
Big bold black letters
On front of the Times
Remind me of what state
The world's in today
The headlines change
But the story's the same

An all I want to do
Is be somewhere else with you
An all I want to say
Is maybe some day things will change

Billboards are saying
Send twenty quid
While showing us faces
Of poor starving kids
Mothers they cry in the streets
Why oh why
Must we send our poor sons
Off to war just to die

Yeah what I wouldn't give
To be somewhere
Anywheres better than this
What I wouldn't give to be somewhere
