Running On The Spot - The Jam

I was hoping we'd

Make real progress

But it seems we have lost the power

Any tiny step of advancement

Is like a raindrop falling into the ocean

We're running on the spot

Always have

Always will

We're just the next generation of

The emotionally crippled

Though we keep piling up

The building blocks

The structure never seems to

Get any higher

Because we keep

Kicking out the foundations

And stand useless while our

Lives fall down

I believe in life

And I believe in love

But the world in

Which I live in

Keeps trying to prove me wrong

Out in the pastures we call society

You can't see further

Than the bottom of your glass

Only young but easily shocked

You get all violent

When the boat gets rocked

Just like sheep

Little lambs into the slaughter

Don't fully grasp what exactly is wrong

Truth is you never cared - still

You get all violent

When the boat gets rocked -

Intelligence should be

Our first weapon

And stop reveling in rejection

And follow yourselves

Not some ageing drain brain

Whose quite content to go on

Feeding you garbage

We're running on the spot

Always have - always will

We're just the next generation of

The emotionally crippled
