Accident Waiting to Happen - Billy Bragg


    I've always been impressed with a girl
    Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well
    That's the way I am, heaven help me
    He said we don't like peace campaigners round here
    As he nailed another one to the wall
    And that's what gets me in trouble, heaven help me

    Goodbye and good luck
    To all the promises you've broken
    Goodbye and good luck
    To all the rubbish that you've spoken
    Your life has lost its dignity
    Its beauty and its passion
    You're an accident waiting to happen

    There you are standing at the bar
    And you're giving me grief about the DDR
    And that chip on your shoulder get bigger as you get older
    One of these nights you're gonna get caught
    It'll give you a pregnant pause for thought
    You're a dedicated swallower of fascism

    Time up and time out
    For all the liberties you've taken
    Time up and time out
    For all the friends that you've forsaken
    If you chose to waste away
    Like death is back in fashion
    You're an accident waiting to happen

    My sins are so unoriginal
    I have all the self loathing of a wolf in sheep's clothing
    In this carnival of carnivores, heaven help me
