Lyrics

It doesn't take much to bring you down
There are plenty of people standing round
They wait till you slacken off just a bit
Then they fill you up with passive bullshit

It's too good
It can't last
What a shame

Watch out for the quiet ones at the back
All they want is the smallest crack
Everything's happening down the front
Innocent bystander you're the biggest runt

Fuck the punks
Punks are fucked
It's too loud
Awful row
They can't play
They'll give up
In the end
What a shame

Oh! what a shame!
Oh! what a shame!
It's still the same
That's what you think

Watch out for the quiet ones at the back
All they want is the smallest crack
Everything's happening down the front
Innocent bystander you're the biggest runt

We all now
It's so bad
But we say so
What a shame
