Legacy Was Yesterday Songtext
von Napalm Death

Sealed maze of confusion
The mind is perplexed
Faith in the life you choose
A stake in being yourself

Who else can you be?
What else can you be?
True to yourself and forge ahead
True to yourself and forge ahead

And deal with the fucking consequences
Deal with the fucking consequences

By turns we are bemused
We will be stretched taut and ordered
Give a thousand apologies, trying
Trying to work through the guilt


Lashed down to this legacy that was yesterday
Old friend, you′re reviving the pettiness of all the worst memories

From minefield of childhood
To melting pot of frailty
Didn't we grow up?
Or did we just grow apart?

Always looking back
Why be so afraid?
Be true to yourself and forge ahead
Be true to yourself and forge ahead

By turns we are bemused
We will be stretched taut and ordered
Give a thousand apologies, trying
Trying to work through the guilt


Tripping through this legacy that was yesterday
Old friend, you′re reviving the pettiness of all the worst memories
Persisting in this legacy that was yesterday
Legacy that was yesterday
