Why Even Try

We never had a chance
We’re not welcome here
We never had chance
When no-one believes in you
And nobody cares
We’re not welcome here
We never had a chance
You’ve heard how it started
And you know how it ends
Let’s go back to the beginning
And I’ll tell it again

Walk around here
Be yourself
She said, she said, she said
Don’t fail me now
Run along now
Don’t hang about
She loves, she loves, she loves
To drag you don’t
Some say a man once turned water into wine
Now we’re turning noises into songs and that’s just fine
Some say a man once turned water into wine
Now we’re turning noises into songs and that’s just fine
Make a move son
Do it quick,
She wants, she wants, she wants
To see you fall
We’re close now
It’s in the air
She waits, she waits, she waits
To steal it all
Some say a man once turned water into wine
Now we’re turning noises into songs and that’s just fine
My darling, all that I want
Is to write songs you can along to
But, I guess I just don’t have that in me
So you’ll have to make do with this

Forget what you know
Ignore what you heard
Minimise distraction
Pay attention, to us
We’re not
Simply here to entertain you
So disregard your preconceptions
Of what we ought to be
Look beyond what you see
Listen deeper than you have
We are more than just a freak show
We are more than you think
We are more
We are more
We are more
We are more
Forget what you know
Ignore what you heard
Minimise distraction
Pay attention, to us
Forget what you know
Ignore what you heard
Minimise distraction
Pay attention, to us

What the hell is it you want us to sound like?
Tell us what it is you’re looking for
Because we’ve rocked, we’ve rolled, we’ve screamed our lungs out
But now you’re dancing tell me, tell me, tell me
Do you like it?
And do you like us?
I see you dancing
But tell me do you like it?
Not content with merely standing and playing
We decided to put on a show
So we learned how to send them home smiling
Then we took the stage and had a go
Here we are now entertain us the crowd said
So we gave them all they’d ever want
But when they laughed, you sighed and saw us as a gimmick
But now you’re dancing tell me, tell me, tell me
Do you like it?
And do you like us?
I see you dancing
But tell me do you like it?
Do you like it?
And do you like us?
I see you dancing
But tell me do you like it?
Do you like it?
And do you like us?
I see you dancing
But tell me do you like it?
I don’t like this
I don’t like us
I don’t like you
I’m out

But What If This Is

They’re not your friends
They’re not your fans
They don’t care about you
They don’t care about your band
They’ve got all the aces
While you’ve got threes and twos
They’ve got you in their pocket
There’s nothing else you can do
Except listen to this
Don’t believe a word they say
Don’t believe a word they say
Don’t believe a word they say, ‘coz they
They never loved you anyway

Build it up, tear it down
Shout it loud, make no sound
Kiss the boys, slap the girls
I love you all, I hate the world
Follow the prophet, burn the witch
Leave it alone, scratch the itch
For her a yes, for him a no
A false start, ready set go!
Don’t answer back, tell me now
Don’t wanna know, tell me how
Skies are blue, the clouds are grey
Wait for tomorrow, do it today

The last time I walked this path
I was filled with hope and excitement
But now, here I am again
My heart is broken and I’m empty
This time, I was sure it would happen
This time, I was certain
But now I’m ready to throw in the towel
My battery’s low and it’s getting dark
Why even try when no-one believes in you?
How is there hope when nobody cares?
But what if this is the best chance we’ll get?
This wasn’t part of the plan
At this point I’m all out of ideas
What more do you want from us?
What more can we do?
It feels like it’s all stacked up against us
We’re not welcome here, we never had a chance
Why even try when no-one believes in you?
How is there hope when nobody cares?
But what if this is the best chance we’ll get?
This wasn’t part of the plan
Take these dead hands off me
It seems our futures are made of wax
The palm reader never saw this coming
We’re not welcome here, we never had a chance
Lost, going nowhere
Driving a car with no fuel
All we want is for someone to listen
But we’ve been shouting at walls
We’re not welcome here
We never had a chance
We’re not welcome here
We never had a chance
Lost, going nowhere
Driving a car with no fuel
All we want is for someone to listen
But we’ve been shouting at walls
We’re not welcome here
We never had a chance
We’re not welcome here
We’re not welcome here
