Closer by The Fixx Lyrics
Burn a bridge
Blow up a car
Torch a flag
I'd bear the scar
Hustle for peace
Settle for less
Fundamentals
Make their bets
The battle lost is irony
Dumming down
What's in it for me?
Out for lunch
I felt the weight
Believing everything I've read
Getting closer
Don't you feel closer?
This gaping monster
Of apathy
Tell me man
What is it to be?
There's freedom of choice
A choice or not?
There's so much to lose
Many have not
The pressure builds
Anger grows
Blows the lid
As it overthrows
Blind rage
Counting death
???? orders
Lost the town
Getting closer
Getting closer
Getting closer
How far from closer?
Hey ay yee ay yee ay
Gas or electric
Fuel Noah's Ark
This where I get off
Fools disembark
Left behind
In paper and pen
Revolution invents again
We're free as far
As we can throw the key
A prison of reason
Makes room for me
Strike a chord
Hit a nerve
Not fit for purpose
Or to serve
Well is it a bird?
Is it a drone?
A violent peace
Protects our home
Talking robots
Are on the calls
Self deluded
On a smart dumb phone
Why cast a spell?
When you can send a text
Mesmerized
And we've all been hexed
Now the Targets
Where we shop
I'm overdosing as the penny drops
And its getting closer
Don't you feel closer?
Getting closer
Far from closer
Hey ay yee ay yee ay
Closer?
Closer?
No sir!
Don't you feel
Closer?
Closer?
No sir!
Don't you feel
Closer?
Come a little closer
Don't you feel
Closer?
Blow up a car
Torch a flag
I'd bear the scar
Hustle for peace
Settle for less
Fundamentals
Make their bets
The battle lost is irony
Dumming down
What's in it for me?
Out for lunch
I felt the weight
Believing everything I've read
Getting closer
Don't you feel closer?
This gaping monster
Of apathy
Tell me man
What is it to be?
There's freedom of choice
A choice or not?
There's so much to lose
Many have not
The pressure builds
Anger grows
Blows the lid
As it overthrows
Blind rage
Counting death
???? orders
Lost the town
Getting closer
Getting closer
Getting closer
How far from closer?
Hey ay yee ay yee ay
Gas or electric
Fuel Noah's Ark
This where I get off
Fools disembark
Left behind
In paper and pen
Revolution invents again
We're free as far

Come a little closer
Don't you feel
Closer?
