"Drastic" lyrics
(originally by The Loved Ones)
So what once seemed so drastic is now commonplace
They're driving machines down the lines on our face
There's no shame, there's no mercy, not even a trace
With our bombs and our pills we think we've made things safe
Maybe we'd be better off with our heads in the sand
They could leave us to drown here according to plan
If this ships going down you'll find me with the band
Cause they've pushed us all right to the edge
We're on the brink
They've pushed us all right to the edge
They're claiming the answer is kill or be killed
While we're dying of cancer and paying our bills
We just drown in this quagmire of what we've been told
While they're cashing the checks on the faith that we sold
Maybe we'd be better off with our heads in the sand
They could leave us to drown here according to plan
If this ships going down you'll find me with the band
If this ships going down you'll find me with the band
If this ships going down you'll find me with the band
If this ships going down you'll find me with the band
Cause they've pushed us all right to the edge
We're on the brink
They've pushed us all right to the edge
They've pushed us all right to the edge
We're on the brink
They've pushed us all right to the edge
They've left us out here on this ledge
We're on the brink
They've pushed us all, pushed us all
Pushed us all right to the edge
They're driving machines down the lines on our face
There's no shame, there's no mercy, not even a trace
With our bombs and our pills we think we've made things safe
Maybe we'd be better off with our heads in the sand
They could leave us to drown here according to plan
If this ships going down you'll find me with the band
Cause they've pushed us all right to the edge
We're on the brink
They've pushed us all right to the edge
They're claiming the answer is kill or be killed
While we're dying of cancer and paying our bills
We just drown in this quagmire of what we've been told
While they're cashing the checks on the faith that we sold
Maybe we'd be better off with our heads in the sand
They could leave us to drown here according to plan
If this ships going down you'll find me with the band
If this ships going down you'll find me with the band
If this ships going down you'll find me with the band
If this ships going down you'll find me with the band
Cause they've pushed us all right to the edge
We're on the brink
They've pushed us all right to the edge
They've pushed us all right to the edge
We're on the brink
They've pushed us all right to the edge
They've left us out here on this ledge
We're on the brink
They've pushed us all, pushed us all
Pushed us all right to the edge
