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
