Mad Men

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Danny Wilder] Bullets sing through the skin of an unarmed black man And swim to the heart of the north east side of town And when they finally found their way, through decay, to the southside They were caught in the teeth of rebellion, hate and need But the need turned to greed and hate, it turned to anger And the blue and the brown eyes turned to burning flames [Verse 2: Koken] London's still burning, and nothing's changed since the riots People ignored the real sparks creating the fires And I ain't praising the liars, out chasing desires Instead of pursuing dreams, but I ain't blaming them either 'Cause nothing's the way it seems, they've been living crimes movies in private Then decided go public and make a scene 'Cause they plug products like drugs everyday on our screens Then judge, and turn their noses up when we change into friends It's fucked, but imagine going to school and it's shit there Don't want to go home for love 'cause it doesn't live there You couldn't win there, so wouldn't think fair On the road to insanity 'cause they're driven so quick there And it's only mad men that wage these wars Pushing killers to pulling triggers with crazy thoughts You wanna protest but you ran up in JD Sports? You burnt the wrong buildings down trying to change these laws Just think [Bridge: Danny Wilder] If they sold you coal would you take ashes And taste tobacco smoked through pipes and peace If the lonely souls of the old and ageing fascists Changed and gave back those years of defeat on your streets Yeah [Chorus: Danny Wilder] Only mad men hold a gun Only mad men hold a gun Only mad men hold a gun And only mad men hold a gun Only mad men hold a knife Only mad men hold a knife Only mad men hold a knife And only mad men hold a knife Only mad men, only mad men Only mad men, only mad men [Verse 3: Ali Bla Bla] Yo It's hard being young, I was fifteen when i first saw a gun Someone put one to my face, then my heart darkened with my lungs Paranoia fathered a son, it was done, lost my faith in humanity Working in a field filled with bad apple trees Don't tit for tatter me with tales of your apathy Will it be your judgement or my machete that's backing me? This herd mentality is rife, we need to let go The same way you panic buy for petrol The same way some might stab a guy from some next road But this ain't Hollywood, every corners got a Tesco Shouting ride or die, letting the Tec blow But when you die, was your life worth the debt? Hell knows It's like there's two roads a young man can take One with fear, one with hate For real [Bridge: Danny Wilder] If they sold you coal would you take ashes And taste tobacco smoked through pipes and peace If the lonely souls of the old and ageing fascists Changed and gave back those years of defeat on your streets Yeah [Chorus: Danny Wilder] Only mad men hold a gun Only mad men hold a gun Only mad men hold a gun And only mad men hold a gun And only mad men hold a knife Only mad men hold a knife Only mad men hold a knife And only mad men hold a knife Only mad men, only mad men Only mad men, only mad men [Outro: Danny Wilder] Only mad men pull the trigger Only mad men feel bigger Only mad men get done And only mad men hold a gun And only mad men push it in Only mad men pierce the skin Only mad men get life And only mad men hold a knife
