Dead Weights Songtext
von Broken Lungs

It′s a right Eton mess
And I feel so fucking depressed
Fractured memories
Of a shattered past
Death of progress
By reverting back

How can't you see the parallels
How can you miss the warning signs

Collective amnesia
Plagiarised mistakes
An abridged history
Written by snakes

Cause for concern
When will we learn?
Papering the cracks
Willing a relapse


When all you have is a hammer
Becoming nails is our fate
Buried are our prospects
We′re all dead weights

When you gaslight change
You're missing the mark
Subvert your blame
And become the spark

When you gaslight change (You're missing the mark)
Subvert your blame (And become the spark)

As the bodies piled high (in their thousands)
They were busy downing champagne
Yet you thought they represent you
But they don′t even hide their shame

Devil′s in the detail
Stockholm syndrome
It's the sequel
I′ve got the deja blues
In inertia, we will always lose

Cause for concern
When will we learn?
Papering the cracks
Willing a relapse


You're not apolitical
You′re just comfortable
With injustice
It's the death of progress
Break the cycle of hate
Or we′re all dead weights

When all you have is a hammer
Becoming nails is our fate
Buried are our prospects
We're all dead weights

When you gaslight change
You're missing the mark
Subvert your blame
And become the spark
