Letras Hope - Cable Ties

Hope

A baby boomer’s lullaby
Came floating through my screen
On Channel 9, I wouldn’t be tuned in
If I went back home in Bendigo
My uncle Pete, he’s complaining about the greenies
He says that they gone too far
I say Pete they don’t grow far enough
I’m back in Melbourne, I’m not doing the best I can
On bad days I’m a parasite
On my good days, I say at least I tried
I’m getting asthma as I run for the train
Is it genetic or is it just harder to breathe these days
And it might be hopeless but if I lose hope
I bring on that nding
And it might be hopeless but if I los hope
I bring on that ending
And it might be hopeless but if I lose hope
I bring on that ending
And it might be hopeless but if I lose hope
I bring on that ending
(Instrumental Break)
I got myself so tangled that I can’t say a word
But I’m screaming in
My head short circuits every thought runs out
Before it can
Go anywhere, drive away
And let a dusty horizon
Break me from this cycle of inertia
I’m so furious at my trembling, idle hands
I’m ashamed of my own blood, of my breath
And I fear every step that I take on
The world keeps turning and it don’t
Give a damn about thoughts that I don’t say
A loud noise is building, it’s a dissonant
Chaos of words but it’s better than
Silence is drowning, tell me which way’s
The surface and I’ll swim for my life
And if I can’t hope, nothing’s ever gonna change
So let your eyes roll, you’ll still be cool
When we’re in flames
I could stockpile in the basement, be a ruthless
Survivor itching to prove that violence is our
Nature and society was fleeting and futile
Take the satisfaction when my cynical
Conclusions come to fruition
Will I win then, when everyone is as selfish
And careless as me?
And if I can’t hope, nothing’s ever gonna change
So let your eyes roll, you’ll still be cool
When we’re in flames
And if I can’t hope, nothing’s ever gonna change
So let your eyes roll, you’ll still be cool
When we’re in flames
And it might be hopeless but I’ve gotta try it
It’s better than lying down and bringing on
Our fate
And it might be hopeless but I’ve gotta try it
It’s better than lying down and bringing on
Our fate
