Lyrics
THE BUCK STOPS HERE
Now you may not wanna hear this
Maybe you should run
Cos I?m talking to you now
This songs not for fun
There?s something we gotta face
If we?re gonna keep this place
Things have got to change
Things have really got to change
But you think these things I shouldn?t say
And it?s not right to speak this way
But I can?t validate your fears
Cos I?m afraid the buck stops here.
So let?s take a look at our lives
Let?s take a look at ourselves
Let?s take a look at the truth
Not the first time we?ve been here
We?ve done it all before
We signed for the full tour
And it?s time to face the fact
That we just keep coming back
But you think these things I shouldn?t say
And it?s not right to look your way
But I can?t validate your fears
Cos I?m afraid the buck stops here.
So now can you hear me?
And are you willing to look?
Will you see what I?ve seen?
Can you get what I mean?
I don?t care where you?ve been
Now are you willing to dare?
Well we can at least start there
Now do you really care?
Do you really care?
You see things have gone too far
On wide screen another war
Morals crashing on the floor
I don?t think we can take much more
This ain?t no picnic prose
Deep down inside one knows
No matter your defence
For sitting on the fence
For this world we go to act
Or it?ll die for the lack
It?s down to us, there?s no-one else
The buck stops here brothers and sisters
The buck stops here people
I?m talking to you
