The Wolves At The Door

Somewhere round here there is a corpse of a man A man who told his wife and kid, I am the man who can But, when push came to shove he kicked that can So far down the road he just did as he was told And when they came for his Kid He should have kept him hid But he threw his life away 'Cause that's what everyone else did Somewhere inside he knows it's all gone awry As his life it ebbs away, he hasn't even tried To his wife and his kid it's a sham and it's a lie He's failed at the one thing he was born to provide And when they came for his Kid He should have kept him hid But he threw his life away 'Cause that's what everyone else did We tried to warn them Researched and showed them But no-one listened And we we're shut out of the world And when they came for his Kid He should have kept him hid But he threw his life away 'Cause that's what everyone else did He was told by the Government man He was told by the big business man He failed at the one thing he was put here for To protect, to keep safe, keep the wolves from the door
