Sloganeering

from Sloganeering EP by Rumours of War

lyrics

With a safe commercial venture
There's a line to be toed
Keep it dead centre
Straight down the middle of the road
Each word carefully chosen
Contrived and reviewed
Just going through the motions
As rhetoric is spewed

You say it's just about the music
and having fun with your mates
'cos you're far too old to protest
and for getting into scrapes
Your lyrics are so poignant
Your anger intense
But I cannot help but notice
You're still sitting on the fence

Chorus
To the rules you're adhering
and the crowd are cheering
Singing along now
To your sloganeering

If this is a movement
Then why does nothing move?
The same old contradictions
Nothing ever improves
Preaching to the converted
Still ploughing this rut
If the past feeds the future
Then the present is fucked

Chorus
To the rules, you're adhering
And still the crowd are cheering
Singing along now
To your sloganeering
