Watch This City Burn

New single from Young Offenders. 

Lyrics

Before you know it the whole town's talking 
about what you did early hours of the morning. 
And I don't want to be on TV no, 
I won't be on your Big Brother Show. 

It ain't funny that you got no money 
and I got no place to go. 
With too much time and no sunshine 
the cracks always start to show. 
But everybody knows you! Yeah they do! 

I'm not sure if i'm coming back again. x2 
I'm not sure no i'm not sure 
I'm not coming back again. 

Back in the day before you ran away 
to the other side of the world. 
Yeah you and Dan he was your man, 
you had your choice of the girls. 

You start to get older the things that they told ya 
start to make no sense. 
You can't believe everything that you read 
over and over again. 
But everybody knows you! Yeah they do! 

I'm not sure if i'm coming back again. x2 
I'm not sure no i'm not sure 
I'm not coming back again.

I'm Not Coming Back

YOU BE YOU

IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER DOES IT?
WE’RE ALL DEAD ANYWAY.
SOLD OUR SOULS TO THE TELEPHONE
AND NOW IT’S ALL A BIT TOO LATE.

BUT I GUESS THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANTED
AND NOW THE END IS NEAR.
THERE’S NO TIME TO CRY, SO RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
BEFORE THOSE MEN IN SUITS APPEAR.

YOUR MONEY IT DON’T MEAN A THING TO ME.
BUT HOW WILL THEY BUY ALL THOSE FANCY THINGS.
AND NO, YOUR LOVE IT’S NOT FOR ME
SO YOU BE YOU AND I’LL BE ME.

WELL IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER DOES IT?
SHOULD OF WARNED THAT NEIGHBOURHOOD .
THAT PEOPLE WE'RE GOING MISSING 
AND WHERE THE FUCK IS ROBIN HOOD?

BUT I GUESS THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANTED
AND NOW THE END IS HERE.
THERE’S NO TIME TO CRY SO RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
BEFORE YOU DISAPPEAR .

YOUR MONEY IT DON’T MEAN A THING TO ME
BUT HOW WILL THEY BUY ALL THOSE FANCY THINGS
AND NO, YOUR LOVE IT’S NOT FOR ME
SO YOU BE YOU AND I’LL BE ME.
