One Man Island Lyrics

It's getting so you can't trust no one
It's getting so you can't even trust yourself
Each morning there's a brand new villain
Each newspaper a brand new boogeyman
But we believe
And we're deceived

And I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can
And I can't live my life as a one man island

It's better if we all stay frightened
It's better if our heads stay in the sand
But I recognize irrational hatred
And I recognize a fear of my fellow man
And it's the truth
And we're all fools

And I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can
And I can't live my life as a one man island
No I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can
And I can't live my life as a one man island I won't be a
A one man island
I can't be a
A one man island
You can't be one too
Oh you know it's true

TV's bluster and there's moral outrage
Someone gets richer someone else ends up in a cage
Yet it strikes me that the whole thing gets worse
Yeah it seems to me positions should be changed
No end of crying
Will stop these liars

And I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can
And I can't live my life as a one man island
No I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can
And I can't live my life as a one man island
No I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can
And I can't live my life a a one man island
