Living on a Thin Line

[Verse 1] All the stories have been told Of kings and days of old But there's no England now (There's no England now) All the wars that were won or lost Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore All the lies we were told (All the lies we were told) All the lives of the people running round Their castles have burned Our eyes see change But inside, we're the same as we ever were [Chorus] Living on a thin line Ooh, tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Livin' on a thin line (Livin' on a thin line) Ooh, tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Livin' on a thin line (Livin' on a thin line) Livin' this way, each day is a dream What am I, what are we, supposed to do? Livin' on a thin line (Livin' on a thin line) Ooh, tell me now, what are we supposed to do? [Verse 2] Now another century nearly gone (Gone, gone) What are we gonna leave for the young? What we couldn't do, or what we wouldn't do It's a crime, but does it matter? Does it matter much, does it matter much to you? Does it ever really matter? Yes, it really, really matters! [Chorus] Livin' on a thin line (Livin' on a thin line) Ooh, tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Livin' on a thin line (Livin' on a thin line) Ooh, tell me now, what are we supposed to do? [Bridge] Then another leader says "Break their hearts and break some heads" Is there nothin' we can say or do? Blame the future on the past Always lost in bloody guts And when they're gone, it's me and you [Chorus] Living on a thin line Ooh, tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Livin' on a thin line (Livin' on a thin line) Ooh, tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Livin' on a thin line (Ooh) [Instrumental Outro]
