No Scheme - For Those I Love.mp3

[00:00.000] 作曲 : David Balfe
[00:13.220]This trade wasn't made to be equal
[00:15.470]Is it the pain of the past or from the bane of the sequel?
[00:19.040]To your grave, there's no way for this day to be peaceful
[00:22.530]And you're told to just get along with it
[00:26.110]Class traitor, see my face in the papers
[00:28.780]Don't ask me again what man I'm forced to have hate for
[00:31.930]A mother draped in shame that'll finally take her
[00:35.260]And now she's crying on Instagram Live
[00:38.810]I complained of the man I thought I became
[00:41.190]A little ways from the lanes, I don't remember their names
[00:44.820]This pain is covered in an ortolan shame
[00:47.630]But it's the same cloth that I clean the blood with
[00:51.440]Is there a clue to who grew the cursed youth?
[00:54.180]When friends I knew never grew and wound up lost and abused
[00:57.320]Neck in noose and it's WhatsApp groups full of half truths
[01:00.370]Boys get beat black and blue, and then that video gets sent to you
[01:03.500]I won't seal my fate with the weight of others
[01:07.000]Reveal your place or displace my brothers
[01:10.030]I won't feel no hate or debase our mothers
[01:14.320]And I'm not alone here
[01:16.330]I won't heal my ways when the days are numbered, or
[01:20.060]Steal your place when your race is running
[01:22.710]It's just searing pain in the graves of lovers
[01:27.030]We're not alone here
[01:29.410]The lads from my teens all made peace with their scenes
[01:32.560]They gave up on their dreams to move their Ma out the scheme
[01:36.010]No silver, gold and green, life above their means
[01:38.700]Driven mad by phone scams and every day still spent on Facebook
[01:42.140]I get it, I do
[01:43.650]Some lost search for the truth
[01:45.330]They politically horseshoe youths like recruits
[01:48.600]For what died the sons of no scheme?
[01:50.660]Relocation dreams levelled by the cruel blue seas
[01:53.130]And these cunts will do nothing to greet you, I'm sorry
[01:55.280]This city needs a saviour
[01:56.850]Pray for the guilty and their cutthroat behaviour
[01:59.220]There's rent to pay, so I trade my soul in as labour and stay for the hope of what might be
[02:03.960]I make peace with the pugilism behind me, and I gnash teeth at the feudalism arriving
[02:08.580]A city that's lost its shape held together by surveillance and vapes
[02:12.090]With some distant memory of a better past
[02:14.620]Overpriced rent took to task, and Ma's on the frontlines of the boycotts
[02:20.130]Now I'm reading comment section politics from genocidal hollow pricks
[02:23.860]I'm sick, get me out of here please
[02:27.080]I'm thirty-two with acne, thirty-two with no gaff to back me
[02:30.090]And everyone else I know seems to feel the same as me
[02:32.900]I said, I'm sick, thick prick, get me out of here please
[02:36.340]A wasted life of 9 to 5 so we can deal with the squeeze
[02:39.510]We seize the means of chronic boredom from the bourgeoisie
[02:42.660]Then feel the grip of wasted time just as we struggle to breathe
[02:46.330]And when your day ends, and you fall into bed
[02:49.320]Hold your face in your hands to fight to hell in your head
[02:52.580]And your pray for a change, and then you dream and pretend
[02:55.600]Then tomorrow arrives, and you do it again
[02:58.620]Because my lads aren't hopping out of cars anymore
[03:02.270]My lads don't drink to death in bars anymore
[03:05.420]My lads don't dice themselves with scars anymore
[03:08.680]We've all got real jobs and we're bored
[03:11.490]My friend still watches over me, we found our freedom in the sea
[03:14.700]The cold will crush my smoker's lungs just as it forces me to breathe
[03:18.080]Pull the air in, call me Donnie Deathwish
[03:20.380]New set list and a smack of an empty hearse, what a way to go
[03:23.780]But still, I feel the blood of my forefathers through me
[03:27.180]I still see their marks that they left in the stone
[03:30.380]Would they be ashamed of my moves if they knew me?
[03:33.710]For the trades I've made just to stay where I'm from
