Smokescreen

Everyday
The more (??)
Is the same
It’s not for us to say
But why not?
‘Cause we’ve got
Another petrol fire
Another dead excuse
Another crumpled spine*
Another year of abuse
It’s not for us to say
It’s not for us to say
But why not?
We went down
To the bank (/bay?)
Turned round
Looked back
We went around the flag
And for what?
‘cause they’ve got
Another petrol fire
Another dead excuse
Another crumpled spine
Another year of abuse
We went around the flag
But for what?
