Song Plays On

Lights are out
Glass underfoot
Curtains, walls and carpets
It's all painted black with soot
But here we are
Can't stop the sound
Cause a melody's a lifeboat
When the mothership goes down
The sirens scream
"Hey, here come the bombs!"

We know we should be running
But the song plays on
We know we should be running
But the song plays on
The enemy is coming
But we're standing strong
We know we should be running
But the song plays on

Crooked smile
And busted teeth
There's a dozen missing hammers
And a couple missing feet
So hit the chords
We'll find the key
There's a dirty minor second
Where a major third should be
London calling
Friendly fire
Blackbird sings a sonnet
On a rusty razor wire
It's coming down
We'll drown it out
Doesn't matter what we're singing
Just as long as we sing it loud

We know we should be running
But the song plays on
We know we should be running
But the song plays on
The enemy is coming
But we're standing strong
We know we should be running
But the song plays on

On and on and on
Can't stop the sound
The song plays on
Can't stop us now
The song plays on
