Pulp – The Fear lyrics

(J. Cocker/Pulp)
The dust has settled, replaced the bulbs in all the lights.I guess I'll
get no sleep tonight.A revolution happened.Oh, sorry you haven't
heard.We are the children of the new world.If you're quiet you can watch
if you like.They say the future's beginning tonight.Whole empires will
crumble.Civilisations will fall.Lie on the bed, hear the sound of it
all.No anger, no guilt & no sorrow: it sounds unlikely, I know, but
tomorrow you will wake up to find that your whole life has
changed.Although nothing looks different a revolution took place, I love
the way you do it, I love the way you put them on.You know the answers
but you get it wrong.(Just to confuse things).Why did it seem so
difficult to realise a simple truth? The revolution begins & ends with
you.Now all the breakdowns and nightmares look small.Now we decided not
to die after all.Because the meek shall inherit absolutely nothing at
all.If you stopped being so feeble you could have so much more.The
answer was here all the time, you see.Just how I missed it is a mystery
to me.I have waited & waited for this day to arrive.The revolution was
televised.Now it's over, bye, bye.It's over, bye, bye.Yeah, we made
it.Just by the skin of our teeth.Perfection is over (The Rave is over)
Sheffield is over.The Fear is over.Guilt is over (Please leave the
building quietly) Bergerac is over.The hangover is over.Men are
over.Women are over. Cholesterol is over.Tapers are over.Irony is
over.Bye Bye Bye Bye.
