Lie of the Land - The Alarm
(Intro fill)
Too young to care, too old to fight
Ain't bothered about your life
Drop out, far out, don't go to school
Get out while the going's good
Sign up for the dole, dig a hole
For your bone and moan ain't got any cash
Hedonistic man with your can
And your head of sand
Take the lie of the land
LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE
And never let the fires die
(Intro riff, but only 1 Am-Asus2-Asus4-Am sequence)
Take the LIE OF THE LAND
Today don't wait don't hesitate
Get out there and join a march
Join hands make plans and take a chance
On the right hand side of the road
Avoid the gang of the man named Vicious Henry
And his friend called Billy Whizz
Don't stay in the dark where the sharks
Will rip you off they're gonna tear you apart
LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE
And never let the fires die
(Intro riff, but only 1 Am-Asus2-Asus4-Am sequence)
Take the LIE OF THE LAND
(Harmonica solo here over, Dm-F-C-Am pattern twice, as in second part of verse above)
(Continue using Dm-F-C-Am pattern)
And at home you're alone you're the people
That your parents warned you about
And all your walls are adomed with protest
And you always quote the........
LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE
And never let the fires die
Take the LIE OF THE LAND
