Andy Bell (Ride) - Flick of the Finger lyrics

[Verse 1] Woke up this morning I was laid out flat on the dark side With the moon and the room on the wrong side I took a needle, sewed myself right back at the seams I saw my universal gleam I see the wonder of life and look for the one Just taking a walk in the sun, in time In just a second like the ghost of a bad idea I feel myself getting the fear **Instrumental** [Verse 2] Come on Have we decided if we like being part of the plan? The sands are shifting and there's nowhere to land It's on, it doesn't matter if all the best tickets are sold And all the old stories are told I know you're gonna tell me that you hear every word I say But the future gets written today Yeah the future gets written today **Instrumental** [Verse 3] Spoken: Don't be deceived when our revolution has been finally stamped out And they pat you paternally on the shoulder and say that there's no inequality worth speaking of and no more reason for fighting Because if you believe them they will be completely in charge In their marble homes and granite banks, from which they rob the people of the world under the pretence of bringing them culture Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them they'll send you out to protect their gold in wars Whose weapons, rapidly developed by servile scientists, will become more and more deadly Until they can, with a flick of the finger, tear a million of you to pieces **Instrumental**
