The Great Unwanted

Album: The Great Unwanted [2007]
Author: Andrew Laidlaw

If I could be alone with you, instead of standing on my own

I would sound the call and when they all come running then you’ll see

I’m not alone at all

 

Oh we live in silence, in shelter, in shadows

The ones that you trod on, the ones you were brutal to, but

 

Look for us, we were the casualties forever paying the price for a life less boring

Look for us, we were the whipping children, but no more

Look for us ‘cause when the tables turn

You’ll be saying a prayer to The Great Unwanted

Singing a hymn to The Great Unwanted

We will not be ignored

We won’t take that no more

 

Well you can dodge the pressure, avoid the questions and whisper lies beneath your breath

To you, love got smothered under hearts and flowers and it died a sweet and sickly death

 

Our resolve wont break, the stakes are to high to lose

You’re finished, you’re over, you’re yesterday’s news. So

 

Look for us, we were the casualties forever paying the price for a life less boring

Look for us, we were the whipping children, but no more

Look for us ‘cause when the tables turn

You’ll be saying a prayer to The Great Unwanted

Singing a hymn to The Great Unwanted

We will not be ignored

We won’t take that no more

No more, no more.No more, no more

 

Well, you can roll your eyes and feign surprise, but this ain’t another spurned lover talking

Every day you waste away is a little bit closer ‘till the dead start walking

Curse yourself into an early grave

Well, it’s your body you can die if you want to

Die if you want to, die if you want to, die if you want to

Enough now, lets go!

 

Look for us, we were the casualties, forever paying the price for a life less boring

Look for us, we spent the weekend quaking, dreading the sight of a Monday morning

Look for us ‘cause when the tables turn

You’ll be saying a prayer to The Great Unwanted
