I wanted to write something thats a general feeling of how things are at the moment, everything in world seems to be in a mess with no light at the end of the tunnel, it's easy to lose yourself, sometimes you don't feel strong enough when the world or people kick you down, you just gotta come back fighting and set your your path straight no matter how off course its become.
Smalltown Minds
(all Lyrics. J.Harvey)
Small-town minds going round in rotation
Prison cells of our own creation
I never thought that I could find salvation
But do I really care at all
All caught in the same situation
Money talks piling high as inflation
Do not have drive, do not have determination
Building up together, on a false foundation
Walking through a nation, a mutation of its self.
The measure of your worth is determined by your wealth
Is this not a mirror a reflection of yourself
How many fall, lose their mind
Some people never learn
- [ ] Times have changed, we’re just digging in the dirt
Do not leave your station for a minute leave your work
Think I’m on a down is it slowly getting worse
I can’t navigate this life can not put it in reverse
Going down to a town, boarded down, run it down, government don’t care they not there, they just sold you out.
Make it out, run you out, told you what it’s all about.
Does not pay to have your mind and head in the clouds
The 1 percent, the no percent, who controls the money,
a system build on greed, they will grieve, is it funny
It all about a roof getting food in your tummy
They only wanna no when the sky’s blue, sunny
Console your debt, card rejected, not protected, funny
As I projected, un-respected, I don’t think i’m happy
Street neglected, not connected,
do not have the money, it’s all about the gangs and the drugs, chase the Honey.
Minority, equality, to never feel priority
Taking on authorities project a superiority have a status quo, is it real democracy
If don’t know no truth
Or have no honesty
Have we no shame or we out for personal gain
Can you blame me if I ever acted the same
Let’s play the blame game, wanna make your mark a name, you never made me a part, you treat me the same
Underestimated I guess you never calculated
Invalidated, now I’m feeling frustrated
If I’m now a monster I’m one that you created
They never really friends
They were all ill fated
No harm was meant
I did consent
But I can’t trust nobody
How does this end
It was meant meant
But now there is no money
I’m terminated
complicated
I think it’s getting bloody
These are not thoughts or feelings I embody
Escape these feelings
Shady dealing
Midnight meeting
Friend deleting
Unbelieving
Wrong perceiving
Am I bleeding
I’m not healing
Do I have to watch what you intend on stealing
You had it all now Romeo is bleeding
