lyrics

Facing up to the truth
Is the hardest thing to do
So I left it at the bottom of my to do list
Every day when I wake
There’s a lot of pills to take
And then I am readyish to make my way

I’ll admit that I was wrong
If it wins me more aplomb

The virtue signals
Smoke filled wafting through my brain
And the virtual world
Helps me reset for the pain
The pain of being awake

As I walk through this life
Trying hard to do what’s right
I can feel the cynicism rising up inside
Will I stand, will I fight
Will I work to change my life
Or will I go back to bed and share that meme

I’ll admit that I was wrong
If you can disprove my source

The pain was always ours to share
A hundred million souls despair
Give us purpose, give us hope
You treat our future like a joke
A dream from which you profit large
We’re dying because you’re in charge
But no-one has the energy
We’re denizens of apathy

So I’ll try to believe that the future is for me
And I’ll grab it with both hands if it comes close enough
I won’t kick, I won’t scream
I’ll just lay back here and dream
Of a world where somebody else saves the day

I’ll admit that I was wrong
If you’ll like and share my song

about

Carol Hodge Huddersfield, UK

Carol Hodge is a 7-fingered, piano-pounding, Yorkshire-dwelling Singer-Songwriter. Think Regina Spektor meets Billy Bragg, but with fewer digits and a continuous existential crisis, sandwiched between bitter irony and relentless optimism. You won’t know whether to laugh or cry, but will definitely feel something.
Long-term collaborator with Steve Ignorant (CRASS); Ginger Wildheart.
