Restless Lyrics by The Skints

Swimming Lessons

2019

As the crowds grow restless
And express their distrust
I’m wide awake

I’m wide awake as their schemes and plots
Are hatched and reared in the best of the vipers
If you think they think you matter
You are mistaken
To them you are just here for the taxation
Been thinking about what happens
To those who serve us wrong
The officer who chose to rob a mother of her son
And a tower stands in ashes
No one’s held accountable
Justice is something that is not universal

As the crowds grow restless
And express their distrust
I’m wide awake

To tell the next scene
These robots all know I’m a mutant
Yeah sentinels can smell the X-Gene
Use your powers come join the team (X-Men)
Cos all those who wanna reign supreme
Never really wanna take the blame supreme
Or feel the pain too deep
We get left in the rain you see
New day but it all feels the same to me
And you wanna make your country hate again?
Please teach these cunts to be afraid again
I said away with them
And as the crowds grow restless I’m wide awake with then
And if you ain’t insane or dead
You better engage your brain and get
Wise to their tactics
Ignite your mind like a matchstick
And start blaming them

As the crowds grow restless
And express their distrust
I’m wide awake

[Proteje]
I said they’re plotting, they’re judging
They’re talking, watching with them eyes wide shut
Every lyric, every syllable mi write up
Thankful for the light when shine and make me sight up
Things that were not right, in spite, are feeling nice
Oh my
I’ve enjoyed my days
Got some real ones ‘side of me
From you have life you can find a way
Look how mi rich now finally
What am I to say? I’m wide awake
Somewhere hide away in the lowkey side of the island
Who them a hype on? Man just a drive on the road
Mi ah keeping mi eye pon plan
