Song Lyrics

All the pressure can be washed away
Drown the sadness from your face
Tiredness, madness, daydreams
Call a friend in the night time

Get all the boys, go dancing
Jumbled in the urban heat
Safety in the darkness
Confusion, hunger, banjaxed

That's how the others died
That's how they'll die again
That's how the others died
And that's how they'll die again

You should turn your ear to what they say
Tough and rough and angry, stay away
Disregarded, neglect, desert, blind-eye
Head kept down when you pass by them

Tell your kids that nothing's equal
Even in a land like this
Ignorance is peaceful
Mouldy ceilings
Burnt out

That's how the others died
That's how they'll die again
That's how the others died
And that's how they'll die again
And again and again and again
And again and again and again
And again and again and again
And again and again and again

Just around the corner
That's a different story
They're the salt of the earth
But not sure what their worth is
Go on and turn the news off
Crying, screaming, shouting
Brushed off your cold shoulders
Show your poor mouth
Forget about it
Drink up

That's how the others died
That's how they'll die again
That's how the others died
And that's how they'll die again
And again and again and again
And again and again and again
And again and again and again
And again and again and again
(Again, again, again, again)

That's how the others died
That's how they'll die again
That's how the others died
And that's how they'll die again
And again and again and again
And again and again and again
And again and again and again
And again and again and again
