Wheels Lyrics by Gail Something-Else

How Not to Breathe EP

2017

[Verse 1]
You say you want change, yet you drown in tradition
In the same pool that feeds the roots they planted for us
When they poison their own with God and superstition
You say you want change, but in ritual you trust

[Verse 2]
You say you have hope while you cling to what once was
The comfort of childhood brings with it a price
Your head is so rammed while your heart cries for battle
You say you have hope, what in? Of men and mice

[Chorus]
We happily pick up their pieces for pence
And the welfare of comrades is money well spent
Destruction is their only gift in the deal, so
Tell me, why do we keep treading their wheel?

[Verse 3]
You say you have faith, but what is it in?
Now God is an overdraft and the banks shine their spires
With polish you daren't be paying in late for
You say you have faith, but it dampens your fire

[Verse 4]
You say you have fears, yet you invite them in
The devil's hands are busy keeping you in your aisle
You stand up and fight, but you're busy today
You say you have fears as you paint on that smile

[Chorus]
We happily pick up their pieces for pence
And the welfare of comrades is money well spent
Destruction is their only gift in the deal, so
Tell me, why do we keep treading their wheel?

[Outro]
You say you want change, yet you embrace tradition
Swimming in the pool they created for us
And drink up the poison of a daily rendition
You say you want change while quenching your thirst
