Reprisal

[Verse 1] Whatever happened to having a nice drink with an old friend? There has been no end to the chaos that has transcended As innocent jokes cascaded into spirals turned to pub brawls Who walks here is not the one who just hooked you in the face with a glass That once held my dear [Chorus] (Well well well) Here we go again (well well well) You ain't changed a bit mate [Verse 2] There was me and there was you Being forced into a queue You turned to smack the policeman taking fingerprints from you You looked so very angry You seemed so very sad What makes you think you could beat the system through this man? [verse 3] He seemed to quite enjoy this And seemed quite happy to Pummel the living s**t out of someone who's struggling through Life's delusions confusions lies based on true forming illusions In our hearts and minds Days of working nights of binging [verse 4] What makes this policeman any different from the man he is fighting Licence to entice be violent I see anger in your eyes As you squish the head of my old school friend Between a door and a cell [Chorus] (well well well) I guess you win again (well well well) [Bridge] Internal shift Creates external shift Could be a lift In your immediate environment Micro-macro [?] macho [?] You need to move forwards Pushing pushing Not wishing wishing Far fetched projections of myself from sequel narratives You are not but just a Character Step right up And steer your ship [Chorus] (well well well) I guess you win again Or do you? (well well well) Time will tell
