Living On A Thin Line

From: Harlan L Thompson LIVING ON A THIN LINE - The Kinks All the stories we’ve been told of kings and days of old But there’s no England now (there’s no England now) All the wars that were won and lost Somehow don’t seem to matter very much anymore      All the lies we were told (all the lies we were told) All the lives of the people running round their castles have burned    Now I see change but inside we’re the same as we ever were Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line living this way each day’s a dream What am I what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do? Now another century nearly gone (gone gone) What are we gonna leave for the young? What we couldn’t do or what we wouldn’t do it’s a crime but does it matter? Does it matter much does it matter much to you? Does it ever really matter? Yes it really really matters! Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do? Then another leader says break their hearts and break some heads Is there nothing we can say or do?   Blame the future on the past always lost in blood and guts And when they’re gone it’s me and you. Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line oooohh
