The Jam Follow

I was hoping we'd make real progress
But it seems we have lost the power
Any tiny step of advancement
Is like a raindrop falling into the ocean

We're running on the spot always have, always will?
We're just the next generation of the emotionally crippled

Though we keep piling up the building blocks
The structure never seems to get any higher
Because we keep kicking out the foundations

And stand useless while our lives fall down
I believe in life and I believe in love
But the world in which I live in
Keeps trying to prove me wrong

Out in the pastures we call society
You can't see further than the bottom of your glass
Only young but easily shocked
You get all violent when the boat gets rocked

Just like sheep little lambs into the slaughter
Don't fully grasp what exactly is wrong
Truth is you never cared still
You get all violent when the boat gets rocked

Intelligence should be our first weapon
And stop reveling in rejection
And follow yourselves, not some aging drain brain
Whose quite content to go on feeding you garbage

We're running on the spot always have, always will?
We're just the next generation of the emotionally crippled
