The first single from Beady Eye’s second
album, here’s Flick the Finger’s lyrics:
Lyrics
Woke up this morning, I was late, off out
on the dark side,
With the moon and the room on the wrong
side.
I took a needle for myself right back at
the seams,
I saw my universal gleam.
I see the wonder of life and look for the
wall,
Taking a walk in the sun.
In time, in just a second like the ghost of
a bad idea,
I feel myself getting the fear.
Come on, have we decided if we like being
part of the plan.
It sends us shifting and there’s nowhere to
land
It’s on; it doesn’t matter if all of these
tickets are sold
And all the old stories are told
I know you’re gonna tell me that you hear
every word I say
But the future gets written today;
Yeah the future gets written today.
Spoken word of the quote by Jean-Paul Marat
(1743-1793):
“Don’t be deceived when our revolution has
been finally stamped out and they pat you eternally on the shoulder and say
that there’s no inequality worth speaking of and no more reason for fighting
because if you believe them they will be completely in charge in their marble
homes and granite banks from which they rob the people of the world under the
pretense of bringing them culture.
Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them
they’ll send you out to protect their gold in wars whose weapons, rapidly
developed by servile scientists, will become more and more deadly until they
can with a flick of the finger tear a million of you to pieces.”
