Random Acts Of Senseless Violence

Song	Random Acts Of Senseless Violence
Artist	David Sylvian
Album	Manafon

	Under yellow light
	Comes the face of tomorrow
	Lights the fuse
	Gives meaning to
	All that was previously hollow
	To a soundtrack of sirens
	And mute aspiration
	The express train to
	HeathrowFirst of the morning
	Is leaving the station
	Our reckless sun rises
	On the tip of the iceberg
	Hidden in plain sight
	Still alive and full of surprises
	A generation gone soft
	Over new acquisitions, that can't take the edge off
	I've put away my childish things
	Abandoned my silence too
	For the future will contain
	Random acts of senseless violence
	The target's hit will be non-specific
	We'll roll the numbers play with chance
	All suitable locations unplanned in advance
	Someone's back kitchen, stacked like a factory
	With improvised devices, there's bound to injuries
	With improvised devices
	No phone-ins, no courtesy, no kindness
	And the future will contain
	Random acts of senseless violence
	And it's not just the boredom
	It's something endemic
	It's the fear of disorder
	Stretched to its limits
	And the safety of numbers is just a contrivance
	For the future will contain
	Random acts of senseless violence
	Democracy is very
	Democracy is very, very

	Under yellow light
	Comes the face of tomorrow
	Lights the fuse
	Gives meaning to
	All that was previously hollow
	To a soundtrack of sirens
	And mute aspiration
	The express train to
	HeathrowFirst of the morning
	Is leaving the station
	Our reckless sun rises
	On the tip of the iceberg
	Hidden in plain sight
	Still alive and full of surprises
	A generation gone soft
	Over new acquisitions, that can' t take the edge off
	I' ve put away my childish things
	Abandoned my silence too
	For the future will contain
	Random acts of senseless violence
	The target' s hit will be nonspecific
	We' ll roll the numbers play with chance
	All suitable locations unplanned in advance
	Someone' s back kitchen, stacked like a factory
	With improvised devices, there' s bound to injuries
	With improvised devices
	No phoneins, no courtesy, no kindness
	And the future will contain
	Random acts of senseless violence
	And it' s not just the boredom
	It' s something endemic
	It' s the fear of disorder
	Stretched to its limits
	And the safety of numbers is just a contrivance
	For the future will contain
	Random acts of senseless violence
	Democracy is very
	Democracy is very, very
