lyrics

If you take a look at yourself today
You're bound to be in for a fright
Beneath a forever forecast of grey
We weigh the dark and the light
We come from a land
Under Concrete Skies
Where no gods ever peer in
Where the hard brigade
And the stanley blade
Fight over the thickness of skin
We'll take you down
To where the glass pipe crackles
And the brown skinned dragon they chase
We'll rob you proper
For your soul and dollar
To keep a little smile on your face

And as for the competition
Oh it doesn't last so long
If it won't hear our sound advice
It'll have to hear it from our gun

If you take a look in our hearts today
You won't find any regret
Cos all we fritter
In the human figure
We turn straight into respect
So if you were considering rising high
You better not be getting too tall
Cos we are the only ones pushing up here
And that would be a terrible fall

Thus we built our kingdom
On a solid foundation of fear
Changewinds they blow far and wide
But they know they're not welcome here
