Текст пісні
Something was wrong from the very word go
They obviously knew things that I didn't know
They'd looked for sedition and sin and subversion
They'd doctor some lyrics and scrap the dub version
I once wrote this thing that was poignant and true
They'd examined its content and read it right through
Perhaps at some stage they would bear it in mind
But our public's not ready for ideas of this kind
Felt it was useless to try and complain
And they knew that I'd never see A.T. again
It was based on good sense that their judgement fell
They'd wait 'til I O.D.'d and then it would sell
My vision was powerful, brutal and stark
But somehow my bullet had just missed its mark
As I mentally ripped up my cheque full of noughts
They made certain concessions and altered my thoughts
It's hard to live with it but can't live without it
I still might have cracked it but I very much doubt it
I had so much to offer and so much to say
But I pushed the wrong button and got in their way
