Stereophonics - Chaos From The Top Down Lyrics

Stereophonics Lyrics

"Chaos From The Top Down"

I'm just 15 and here's my story
It ends too soon, for that I'm sorry
No warning sign
Next thing I'm lying in my blood in the rain
Just another TV show distracts me
They're laying flowers where they shot me

I don't know what it is I gotta do
Got lost on the way

Oh yeah, it's chaos from the top down
It's just another lot of cop-outs
They're saying nothing
Power tripping egos, yet there's no change
Oh yeah, it's chaos from the top down
And now I see I've just been shot down
I got no voice, I got no choice
You don't hear one word I say, yeah

Gonna rob another home
And steal another phone
And lose my soul now
Yeah, lose my soul now
Get outta my brain to numb the pain
What's left to say now?
What's left to say now?
Too much, too little
Too young to stand it
Got nothing to prove
Got nothing to lose
Can't understand it
I take my time
Next thing I'm lying in my blood in the rain

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Too much, too little
Too young to stand it
Got nothing to prove
Got nothing to lose
I just can't stand it, oh no
Have you got my number?
You don't know me
Have you got my number?
Yeah? But you don't own me

Oh yeah, it's chaos from the top down
It's just another lot of cop-outs
They're saying nothing
Power tripping egos, yet there's no change
Oh yeah, it's chaos from the top down
And now I see I've just been shot down
I got no voice, I got no choice
You don't hear one word I say, yeah

"It's a song sung from the imagined perspective of a fifteen-year-old boy laying in the road after being shot. He's reflecting in his time of dying about his life and the choices he made through the lack of options and opportunities he felt he had in today's Britain. It also touches on the tags and labels that have been stuck on him. The stereotypes and clichés that were placed on him. It's based on a true story that happened just outside my street. It's happening everywhere." - Kelly Jones.
