Long Way Off - Sam Fender

Lyrics by：Sam Fender

Composed by：Sam Fender

I've seen enough of it

The sides are all cemented

Their incentives look the same

Are they vetted in the same ways

As the little guy puts blood and tears

Into pushing deadweight on the capital steps

Bleeding out for a caricature of a '50s salesman

Hare checklist tickin' every box

Dead for what

Standing on the side I never was the silent type

All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white

I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right

We're still a long way off

We're still a long way off

Some get along with it

They drag around from town to town

With a pretty lie that hoodwinked many of my loved ones

And I owe it to my folks for giving me an understanding of a world

That shot my people down

The hungry and divided play into the hands of the man who put them there

So it goes

Standing on the side I never was the silent type

All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white

I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right

We're still a long way off

We're still a long way off

We're still a long way off

Standing on the side I never was the silent type

All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white

I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right

We're still a long way off

We're still a long way off

We're still a long way off
