The Combine Songtext
von The Jam

Life is very different
When you′re in a crowd
When you're in a crowd
You see things as they really are
You smell and feel hate
Generated by all around

I wanna break away
But the ties are too strong
I wanna go on holiday
But the craft is a cunt
See life is very difficult
When you′re in a crowd


Sometimes in the night
I wish I was far away
But then I realize
Even scared would be in vain
I wanna close my eyes
And be like the rest
I mean nobody wants to die
Though the crowd say they do

Look life is very intricate
When you're in a crowd
Life becomes a movie
And everyone has a role
It's easy being the actors
When the combined zero is a star

Sunday papers and the dailies
In a shop of pastry girls
News at ten, war in Rhodesia
Far away in a distant land
We′re alright, we′re nice and warm here
No one to hurt us except our friends
