Capital Offense

from The Notes That Matter by Miss Lonelyheart

/

lyrics

Well, I tried getting down to the sound of the city
All the city did was get me down
After all those years it was clear that it didn’t want me around
And when I saw the distress I put out an S.O.S.
On the short wave radio
But it got me nowhere, ‘cause by then there was really nowhere to go
You know a house of cards will someday fall
All for one and one for all
To me it seems like common sense
Well, it’s a land of confusion when the hand of illusion
Has a firm grip on the steering wheel
And all the smooth operators flip the data as a way to secure the deal
There’s a clever sleight of hand part and parcel to the plan
That insures the corners never meet
And it’s hard to catch your balance when the ground is always shifting beneath your feet
You know a house of cards will someday fall
All for one and one for all
To me it seems like common sense
But the way that race is run
All for all and one for one
Now that’s a capital offense
You know a house of cards will someday fall
All for one and one for all
To me it seems like common sense
But the way that race is run
All for all and one for one
Now that’s a capital offense
Well, I tried getting down to the sound of the city
All the city did was get me down
After all those years it was clear that it didn’t want me around
