The worlds on fire but they still send the search lights
We're sat here burning but they say that it's alright
You think your selfless but you're openly raising the bar
Another notch and it's so close but oh so far
We're not the victims
We're just the go-betweens
And for the record
I didn't ask for all this
We're in the hallway we've been voted out of a deal
Of a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
I've got the answer on the tip of my tongue
I've got the answer and it's making a scene
So i'm sitting this one out
So i'm sitting this one out if you don't mind
They broke our backs but they won't break under pressure
They've got these ideas and they're scared that they'll break the mould
You think you you're selfless but you're openly raising the bar
Another notch and it's oh close but oh so far
I've got the answer on the tip of my tongue
I've got the answer and it's making a scene
So i'm sitting this one out
So i'm sitting this one out if you don't mind
One day we'll lie awake and wonder where it went
A recurring nightmare that the change that we underwent
Was nothing more than a plaster on a broken leg
The final last words before they break your neck
I've got the answer on the tip of my tongue
I've got the answer and it's making a scene
So i'm sitting this one out
So i'm sitting this one out if you don't mind
