Lyrics
Well sometimes I burn like a paper doll But mostly, the thing I like doing Is doing nothing at all You're right, I'm going nowhere I got nowhere to go The super-colour nightmare's got something of a hold So we're slaves of destiny now, are we? And it's always such an effort to believe In what you want to be Believe in what you want to be I take a leather pouch when I go out There's no money in it But boredom hits the most where it counts I've had my limit Well we will rise again And boredom ain't my friend Don't turn your back Now don't you be no slack jack Don't turn your back Don't you be slack Now don't you be no slack jack And don't turn your back So we're slaves of destiny now, are we? That's why it's always such an effort to see That in a young country We're free to be what we want to be Ditch the distractions Ditch the distractions To create a reaction Create a reaction Create a reaction Don't turn your back Now don't you be no slack jack Don't turn your back Don't you be slack Now don't you be no slack jack And don't turn your back Don't turn your back Now don't you be no slack jack Don't turn your back Don't you be slack Now don't you be no slack jack And don't turn your back So we're slaves of destiny now, are we? When it's always such an effort to believe In what you wanna be Believe in what you want to be I'll be what you want to be I'll be what you want to be
