This Town

One in Five

[intro]

[instrumental]

To kill or suicide
every day, crosses my mind
To go or stay behind
and have we all run out of time?

[instrumental]

I don't have any solutions
and no patience for deep thought
I want something to be done
strike the iron while it's hot

We can't wait for one more reason
One more careless vicious act
One more show of feckless treason
And more twisting of the facts

[chorus]
To kill or suicide
every day, crosses my mind
To go or stay behind
and have we all run out of time?

[instrumental]

It's insane we let this go
Is there something we don't know?
I can't believe we keep our seats
we are not burning down the streets

Yes they have the guns
and soldiers bred to have no conscience
But it is us who have the numbers
and have now run out of patience

[chorus]
To kill or suicide
every day, crosses my mind
To go or stay behind
and have we all run out of time?

[instrumental][02:48]

Jimmy said it long ago
Five to one and one in five
It is time they pay the price
Don't let one come out alive

The odds have gotten worse
If we wait they won't get better
It is time to go right now
It is time to go right now

Five to one 
one in five
It is time they pay the price
Don't let one 
come out alive

Five to one 
one in five

Five to one 
one in five

[instrumental]
