Lyrics

Second Nature

I used to think that I was lonely
When I was a young boy
Doing what they told me
Too many lessons in the school class
Stated my allegiance
Mixing with the wrong class

I lived at home with all my family
Even had my own key
It was given to me, I like to be alone
There was never any friction
Starring in my own film
It was my addiction

You don't have to wait
The world will carry on
They stare in your face
But it won't stay for long
Blessed be our nation
And sit upon her throne
Don't ever hesitate
Just carry on

You don't have to wait
The world will carry on
They stare in your face
But it won't stay for long
Blessed be our nation
And sit upon her throne
Don't ever hesitate
Just carry on

Your older boys were rather surly
Livin' in the wrong place
Made me grow up early
But it was my home
As I complete my own existence
Staring at my own life
Fading in the distance
Down I stand in time

Smiling faces of the neighbors
Proud of their endeavors
Gonna play forever
Watch TV at home

You don't have to wait
The world will carry on
They stare in your face
But it won't stay for long
Blessed be our nation
Sit upon her throne
Don't ever hesitate
Just carry on

You don't have to wait
The world will carry on
They stare in your face
But it won't stay for long
Blessed be our nation
And sit upon our throne
Don't ever hesitate
Don't get it wrong

Don't ever wait
Don't hesitate
Don't ever wait, ever wait
Ever wait, ever wait
Don't hesitate
Hesitate, hesitate

You don't have to wait
The world will carry on
They stare in your face
But it won't stay for long
Blessed be our nation
And sit upon our throne
Don't ever hesitate
Don't get it wrong

You don't have to wait
The world will carry on
They stare in your face
But it won't stay for long
Blessed be our nation
And sit upon our throne
Don't ever hesitate
Don't get it wrong

Don't wait just carry on
Don't wait we'll get along
Blessed be our nation
Sit upon our throne
Don't ever hesitate
Just carry on
