lyrics
come with me for a walk, summer kicked out the cold,
let's find ways out of distraction, ways out of control.
it's been way too long since we changed our topics and talked
about how we give up on the things most important.
my friend i can't even name the place that you're born in,
the place that put you on your feet and forced you to walk.
and if i had my will i'd cover streets with your stories in chalk.
most times it's myself that i don't understand
while i'm falling for outfits doing the best job they can
the best job a soulless thing possibly can.
and it feels so wrong feeling this alright
and the end of the day leaves another sleepless night
if i had my will i'd pick someone to fight
and break down all the walls in my sight
if i had my will i'd have someone in mind
to teach me to value some things a bit more in my life.
come with me for a walk,
let's dare to understand
the ways out of distraction
doing the best job it can
it's been way too long
and it feels so wrong
our wills be done today as friends.
i detest all the bullshit, the masks and the lies,
twisting my insides, penetrating my mind,
but if i had my will i'd ask someone to be so kind
to fight and break down all the walls in my sight,
to teach me to value things more in my life
to take me away from this brainfuck in disguise.
because i fall in love about ten times a day,
ten times with strangers meaning everything to me.
did this place desensitise me so much already
that i don't even know what love is?!
let's find ways out of distraction, ways out of control.
it's been way too long since we changed our topics and talked
about how we give up on the things most important.
my friend i can't even name the place that you're born in,
the place that put you on your feet and forced you to walk.
and if i had my will i'd cover streets with your stories in chalk.
most times it's myself that i don't understand
while i'm falling for outfits doing the best job they can
the best job a soulless thing possibly can.
and it feels so wrong feeling this alright
and the end of the day leaves another sleepless night
if i had my will i'd pick someone to fight
and break down all the walls in my sight
if i had my will i'd have someone in mind
to teach me to value some things a bit more in my life.
come with me for a walk,

the ways out of distraction
doing the best job it can
it's been way too long

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸
