lyrics

Lads are lads, we’ll backtrack
Here’s the culture unmasked
If it’s a joke, then just laugh
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha
Misogynistic norm
Engrained into the core
Confused concept of sex
Maybe it’s too complex

To cover in a night
When does a wrong make a right?
All the kids aren’t safe
Top of the, top of the, top of the, top of the food chain

I’m not alone I’m just
In the passing zone between
My youth and settling down
Let’s go and hit the town
I’ll drink ‘til I canna stand
I’ll sink all my ships and then I’ll
Watch the clock running away
Pack it in, call it a day

In that moment I cried
If you think you know the night
Well it’s mine, it’s mine, it’s mine
And if my parents saw me now
Say you think they’d understand
I see flowers in their hands
And rivers running in their eyes

Cause it’s the problem with guys
Toxicity thrives
The cycle won’t break
‘Til we call out our mates
Blame game, closed case
Let him off his future’s looking bright
Pretend we’re not that guy

Covered by a sheet of lies
Can’t even have a safe night
I’m tryna numb the pain
Up late and free
A way to cut it out internally

I’m not alone I’m just
In the passing zone between
My youth and settling down
Let’s go and hit the town
I’ll dance through Glasgow’s concrete jungles
Under my old man’s shadow I stumble
The day may come where we must change
Find a reason why it’s not today
And we’ll drink ‘til we canna stand
We’ll sink all our ships and then we’ll
Watch the clock running away
Pack it in, call it a day

(Rack it up)

Now I know what they all mean
When they say only in your dreams
Scheming for a bag or three
When all the bad shit happens to me
Hopes on the floor, once or twice
Angered punches, paradigms

Now I know what they all mean
When they say only in your dreams
Scheming for a bag or three
Why does the bad shit happen to me?
Hopes on the floor, once or twice
Angered punches, paradigms
