Citizen Fish - Heard It All Before Lyrics

Send "Heard It All Before" ringtone to your cell

I had writer's block I was put in the dock

By critics of lyrics said it had to stop

The time to whine had gone tick-tock

Too much too long and over the top

Too much too soon? Too little too late?

It was 'the same old tunes' and they 'started to grate'

Mere speech balloons this was never a debate

Why you still looking for the sell-by-date?

I'm feeling the cost of thinking

It's all been said before

Something got lost

You knew it already

Or just got bored

With all this social observation

Too much too soon? Too little too late?

Any old excuse to disengage

'Don't get so mad' - 'We get tired of hearing it' -

Have you seen where this picture fits?

Into the frame of parenthood

Sometime when it was understood

That parents knew 'nothing' and couldn't 'relate'

Now I'm hearing the same from people my age

And into the frame of teachers and school

Who always knew more but kept to the rules

Teaching the same as they'd been taught before

Never updating, no inner thoughts

And into the frame of governments

Who demonise our common sense

Distort our real experience

Democracy bows to it's own pretention

Its in your reflection

Attention span at closing time?

Don't talk politics! Make it rhyme!

And catch the feet to dance a yard

But politics makes us think too hard!

The way we follow or lead or decide

To co-operate or just stand aside

The way we say 'What you doing today?'

Or couldn't give a shit how we work and play

Is politics

What we each decide

Is politics

To be true or lies

Is politics

It's time to decide

Whether how we live (how we live) is our own free will (own free will)

Are we running our lives? Or are we standing still?
