[riff1]
ive always been impressed with the girl
who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well
                           [riff1]
thats the way I am, heaven help me

[riff1]
she said we dont like peace campaigners round here
as she nailed another one to the wall
                              [riff1]
and thats the way I am heaven help me


                                          
goodbye and good luck to the promises youve broken
goodbye and good luck to the rubbish that youve spoken

                                                
your life has lost its dignity, its beauty and its passion
                                      [riff1]
youre an accident      waiting to  happen


[riff1]
there you are standing at the bar and youre
giving me grief about the DDR
                                                     [riff1]
and that chip on your shoulder gets bigger as you get older

[riff1]
one of these nights youre gonna get caught
itll give you a pregnant pause for thought
                               [riff1]
youre a dedicated follower of facism


                                              
time up and time out for all the liberties youve taken
time up and time out for all the friends that youve forsaken

                                                
if you choose to waste away like death is back in fashion
                             Ds9       
youre an accident waiting to happen


[riff1]
my tears are so unoriginal
I have all the self loathing of a wolf in sheeps clothing
                                     [riff1]
in this carnival of carnivores heaven help me

                                              
goodbye and good luck to all the promises youve broken
goodbye and good luck to all the rubbish that youve spoken

                                                
your life has lost its dignity, its beauty and its passion
                                      [riff1]
youre an accident      waiting to  happen
