## Lyrics

* Final
* Demo

Don't call me out, cause I heard you scream,

I don't wanna get out of bed for this, again.

Won't waste your time, I heard it in a dream,

I don't believe, you trust in me, trust in me

I bet you only listen to your friends,

I'm talking like I can pretend,

that I feel better when

You tell me that I always have to go,

You tell me what I want to know, and I feel better for it,

But I know, sometimes it's hard for me to say,

I love you every other day, you pour my heart away

And sometimes, I'm scared of what they've done, so I look how far we've come,

You think you don't have to put up a fight, but you might as well,

So I tell, you everything you won't admit,

You tell me you don't care one bit, and I feel better for it

Look online and do ten minutes of research and in turn find

The problem is poor kids who want holidays in term time

The problem is poor kids who can't afford the train fare,

So we up the train fare and charge them for not paying the train fare

The problem is welfare, the problem is free healthcare

Cause it's un fair, and if it's gone it's well fair,

The problem is drugs, the problem is free love and free hugs

Stay fear, do some drugs and stay here

Well i said go on then, but God bless the weatherman,

Who has gone out of business since the psychoactive substance ban,

The gateway has sent him back from bulk buying nos to selling crack

The problem rose when a rich man suggested it over his lunchtime snack

So we banned the produce, it's a bit of a nuisance really

Don't waste your time, I heard you scream,

I don't wanna get out of bed today, okay.

Won't waste your time, I heard it in a dream,

I don't believe, you trust in me, trust in me

Please trust in me

Please trust in me.

Don't call me out, cause I heard you scream,

I don't wanna get out of bed for this, again.

Won't waste your time, I heard it in a dream,

I don't believe, you trust in me, trust in me

I bet you only listen to your friends,

I'm talking like I can pretend,

that I feel better when

You tell me that I always have to go,

You tell me what I want to know, and I feel better for it,

But I know, sometimes it's hard for me to say,

I love you every other day, you pour my heart away

And sometimes, I'm scared of what they've done, so I look how far we've come,

You think you don't have to put up a fight, but you might as well,

So I tell, you everything you won't admit,

You tell me you don't care one bit, and I feel better for it

Look online and do ten minutes of research and in turn find

The problem is poor kids who want holidays in term time

The problem is poor kids who can't afford the train fare,

So we up the train fare and charge them for not paying the train fare

The problem is welfare, the problem is free healthcare

Cause it's un fair, and if it's gone it's well fair,

The problem is drugs, the problem is free love and free hugs

Stay fear, do some drugs and stay here

Well i said go on then, but God bless the weatherman,

Won't waste your time, I heard it in a dream,

I don't believe, you trust in me, trust in me

Please trust in me

Trust in me.
