Lyrics

A Few Great Men

There was a guy who thought about the Future,
Who looked ahead and dreamed.
Stephenson bought Railway to the people
With the power of steam.
But he can kiss my ass,
That?s all I have to say.
?Cos he built the train that carried you away.

Two guys named Wright worked with tireless endeavour
To take to the skies in flight.
Their flying machine brought mankind together
Took us all sky high,
But they can kiss my ass,
That?s all I have to say.
?Cos they built the plane that carried you away,

Guess I didn?t make it clear: I needed you.
When you put your arms around me
I should?ve held on tighter.
Guess I didn?t make it clear when I needed to.
When you put your arms around me
I should?ve turned away;
You shouldn?t see me cry.

The little guy who works around the corner
At his desk all night.
He recycles cans, he keeps the World in order
And to strangers he?s nice.
But he can kiss my ass,
That?s all I have to say.
?Cos he wrote the law that carried you away.

Guess I didn?t make it clear: I needed you.
When you put your arms around me
I should?ve held on tighter.
Guess I didn?t make it clear when I needed to.
When you put your arms around me
I should?ve turned away;
You shouldn?t see me cry.
