Reprisal
[Verse 1]
Whatever happened to having a nice drink with an old friend?
There has been no end to the chaos that has transcended
As innocent jokes cascaded into spirals turned to pub brawls
Who walks here is not the one who just hooked you in the face with a glass
That once held my dear

[Chorus]
(Well well well)
Here we go again
(well well well)
You ain't changed a bit mate

[Verse 2]
There was me and there was you
Being forced into a queue
You turned to smack the policeman taking fingerprints from you
You looked so very angry
You seemed so very sad
What makes you think you could beat the system through this man?
[verse 3]
He seemed to quite enjoy this
And seemed quite happy to
Pummel the living s**t out of someone who's struggling through
Life's delusions confusions lies based on true forming illusions
In our hearts and minds
Days of working nights of binging

[verse 4]
What makes this policeman any different from the man he is fighting
Licence to entice be violent
I see anger in your eyes
As you squish the head of my old school friend
Between a door and a cell

[Chorus]
(well well well)
I guess you win again
(well well well)

[Bridge]
Internal shift
Creates external shift
Could be a lift
In your immediate environment
Micro-macro [?] macho
[?]
You need to move forwards
Pushing pushing
Not wishing wishing
Far fetched projections of myself from sequel narratives
You are not but just a
Character
Step right up
And steer your ship
[Chorus]
(well well well)
I guess you win again
Or do you?
(well well well)
Time will tell
