Silver Lining. STIFF LITTLE FINGERS
   
	      	     	             	            	
They tell you not to worry, they say they're terribly sorry
									
But that's the way it has to be, for the likes of you and me
	         
Just be good and know your station
			     
Always look on the bright side
	           
Keep you faith and keep your patience
			
Your reward is after you've died

(Chorus:)
	     					
So don't be told, don't be consoled
	      							
Things are so bad, you can never make do
				           
And there's always someone better off than you

									
They tell you that's your future, it's all down to human nature
										
Simply settle for what you got, that's destiny and that's your lot
							     
All of us cannot come first, yes what you have is second best
			
But it might be a good deal worse
				
Third world peasants get even less


(Chorus)
	    			  	
So don't be told, don't be consoled
									
Things are so bad, you can never make do
					   
And there's always someone better off than you

		           
Do you care that it's not fair?
			  
Is this the way we have to live?
	              	    
I know I care, and I want an equal share
		          		
Even if it mean I have to give

 		   
The people who are on top
	           				
Say that you should keep your chin up and
							
They are keen to show you, the unhappy ones below you
 		      					    
But I want to more of that stuff, that's looking at it upside down
 								
And the world has got money enough for us to make it go around so

	    	    	     			
So don't be told, don't be consoled
				        			
Things are so bad, you can never make do
				          
And there's always someone better off than you
