BUT DOES IT KEEP SPINNING… (London Bridge - Thinking of You)
As the world comes apart
splits at the seams
division only growing
making us choose teams
Buying the hype
to these well placed feuds
surrounded by spin
and more pointless platitudes
Fanning the flames
to a long burning fire
fucking with your emotions
fear and desire
Through all the hatred
the accepted sin
few signs to be hopeful
smile or grin
We shop at the mall
grab a bite to eat
never once expecting
to be the nights hottest tweet
Is it terror or not
how many are dead
the news hits the wire
another night of bloodshed
Rerunning a thread
thats become part of our lives
waiting for an update
to see who lives and dies
Such cowardly acts
so depraved and reviled
continue to haunt us --
like the nightmares of a child
Undoubtedly responsible
for untold heartbreak
subtly part of --
the decisions we make
Even at its worst
as the killing continues
the earth keeps on turning
…but does it really keep spinning.
To London Bridge, Borough Market and all those effected --
We're Thinking Of You…
We're Thinking Of You…
