Ivory Towers - High Glamour

[Verse 1] I was thinking about my life I wanted to sit in the sun I don't want to be obscured by buildings from the sun. So I quit my job. Not gonna work for the man Who don't understand my plan. He thinks that I'm insane [Chorus] I see the birds up there in the sky Flitting round, my life drains away And why I say I'm not gonna give it all up So you can sit in ivory towers And eat it all up While we work and slave our fingers to the bone It's not right I want to stay at home. So I quit my job. [Verse 2] I was thinking about the man Why I should give up my life for his hands So he can sit in his Lavish life, in ivory towers In luxury While we slave in misery [Bridge] I was thinking about the wars And how they're insane Funded by the governments we put in power And they claim they are doing it To save us from certain death But I'm sure it's just another cunt sat in a palace of wealth Somewhere else in the world who's got bombs And the guns and missiles Pointed at the people At the bottom, not at the top pointed.. At the bottom, not at the top [Verse 3] And I thought about days of old When you could have a revolution Take the man at the top, throw him down That time is past That time is past [Outro] 'Cause if you think about the man He don't understand my life He wants to put me in a box, it's true Slave to a system Well fuck him too Fuck him too! [Extended Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] So we've got to throw off these shackles of wealth Stop praising the money god as well Got to hold people accountable For their evil deeds or war crimes against humanity We cannot do this as a collective human race We're not going to take our place in the stars tomorrow We're going to perish today 'Cause I don't like the man, he don't like my as well He wants to put me in hell So he can live in his ivory towers of wealth and privilege Fuck him as well Fuck him as well Quit my job Fuck him as well Quit my job Not going to give you money For your bombs and your games Your swimming pool, your cars and all your fame It's just prison for you So deep and dark, prison for you I say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Fuck her too! Fuck her too! Yeah Fuck her too
