Gang Of Four - Paralysed Lyrics






Blinkered, paralysed
Flat on my back

They say our world is built on endeavor
That every man is for himself
Wealth is for the one that wants it
Paradise, if you can earn it

History is the reason
I'm washed up

Blinkered, paralysed
Flat on my back

My ambitions come to nothing
What I wanted now just seems a waste of time
I can't make out what has gone wrong
I was good at what I did

And I'm the dupe

    They say our world is built endeavor

    I'm really amazed by Andy Gill's original style that lacks solos or any traditional method.

    "History's the reason, I'm washed up"  -  Some bands made social or political commentary, but Gof4 cemented it all together with Economics too.  Hitting us with reality, the drastic hopelessness of historical determinism.
