Lyrics
Come on Go Go, go, go, go I know so many people who think they can do it alone They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zones What can you tell them? What can you say that won't make them defensive? Hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight They come on like they're peaceful, but inside they're so uptight They trip through the day and waste all their thought at night Now how can I say it? How can I come on when I know I'm guilty? Yeah Hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight Now how can I say it? How can I come on when I know I'm guilty? So, hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight Hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight Hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight Hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight Hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight Hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight Hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know -

The event coincides with the band's 40th anniversary celebration in June.

Founding trio reunites with Emma Richardson, highlighting early UK support and milestones.

They've also shared a new single that's (kind of) about a decapitated chicken.
