Bloodless Coup Lyrics

	He wipes clean slates
	The tearful diplomat who negotiates
	The end of all beginnings
	Hapless and humble now
	He stumbles from a building putting fires out
	And runs and runs away
	What’s to overthrow
	When everything you know’s corrupted
	No matter what you do
	Chorus:
	You’re never going to make it right
	You’re never going to feel alive
	‘Til you’re defeated and broken
	You’re never going to make it up
	It’s never going to be enough
	To turn it all round
	We fall down again
	Take heart and lose face
	It’s easier to breathe when the declaration’s made
	And flags are lowered
	It burns like paper boats
	He swallows every promise like an antidote
	‘Til lips are numb with hope
	And who’s to overthrow
	When power makes us so indifferent
	No matter what you do
	How’s it going to feel when the doors give way
	What you going to see when the light can’t find you
	What you going to do when the pennies drop
	When you look up and it’s all behind you

	He wipes clean slates
	The tearful diplomat who negotiates
	The end of all beginnings
	Hapless and humble now
	He stumbles from a building putting fires out
	And runs and runs away
	What' s to overthrow
	When everything you know' s corrupted
	No matter what you do
	Chorus:
	You' re never going to make it right
	You' re never going to feel alive
	' Til you' re defeated and broken
	You' re never going to make it up
	It' s never going to be enough
	To turn it all round
	We fall down again
	Take heart and lose face
	It' s easier to breathe when the declaration' s made
	And flags are lowered
	It burns like paper boats
	He swallows every promise like an antidote
	' Til lips are numb with hope
	And who' s to overthrow
	When power makes us so indifferent
	No matter what you do
	How' s it going to feel when the doors give way
	What you going to see when the light can' t find you
	What you going to do when the pennies drop
	When you look up and it' s all behind you

	He wipes clean slates
	The tearful diplomat who negotiates
	The end of all beginnings
	Hapless and humble now
	He stumbles from a building putting fires out
	And runs and runs away
	What' s to overthrow
	When everything you know' s corrupted
	No matter what you do
	Chorus:
	You' re never going to make it right
	You' re never going to feel alive
	' Til you' re defeated and broken
	You' re never going to make it up
	It' s never going to be enough
	To turn it all round
	We fall down again
	Take heart and lose face
	It' s easier to breathe when the declaration' s made
	And flags are lowered
	It burns like paper boats
	He swallows every promise like an antidote
	' Til lips are numb with hope

	How' s it going to feel when the doors give way
	What you going to see when the light can' t find you
	What you going to do when the pennies drop
	When you look up and it' s all behind you
