Longer Days in Shorter Years Songtext
von Bedouin Soundclash

Woah woah, the king is dead
But nobody ever thought to find his head
Revolution for the price of bread
And everyone′s working for the long weekend

So longer days in shorter years
Lights go off and then the sun appears
A hard road, well, when you don't know
When you don′t know what you are anymore

Cash prizes on a government loan
The day a nap becomes a rent-a-home
Scratch and win at the end of the road
The lottery is just a tax on hope

Longer days in shorter years
Lights come on and then the moon appears
And we all play Tears for Fears
When the apocalypse comes 'round every year


Cause we're living longer days in the shorter years
We′re living longer days in the shorter years
We′re living longer days in the shorter years
We're living longer days in the shorter years
Aw haw

Woah woah, the cat came back
And she′s taking it out on all the bureaucrats
Cut down and pick up the fat
The fittest survive as well as diplomats

Longer days in shorter years
The lights go off and then the sun appears
A hard road, well, when you don't know
When you don′t know what you are anymore

Cause we're living longer days in the shorter years
We′re living longer days in the shorter years
We're living longer days in the shorter years
We're living longer days in the shorter years
Aw haw

Nobody′s born in this world no more
And no one′s good at being right
We might as well just enjoy the night


Cause we're living longer days in the shorter years
We′re living longer days in the shorter years
We're living longer days in the shorter years
We′re living longer days in the shorter years
Aw haw
