Lyrics

Armchair View

[Verse 1]

I was born and then I took my place

The natural order should be rearranged

Punish me, don't punish her

Expectations can be quite absurd

And all the comments say

[Chorus]

She should have seen it as a warning sign

But it's so easy from an armchair view

She should have seen it as a warning sign

But it's so easy from a hindsight view

[Verse 2]

Hidden words tend to stick in the craw

The privileged few get to settle the score

Listen to her, don't listen to me

A past protected by official decree

And all the comments say

[Chorus]

She should have seen it as a warning sign

But it's so easy from an armchair view

She should have seen it as a warning sign

But it's so easy from  hindsight view

Who am I to define what I can't see?

Who am I to define what I can't see?

[Instrumental Outro]
