about

New release from The Panic Report, first installment of a double "A" side.

lyrics

Walking in a town where I can speak
of towers that sway, the tenement's creak
staring at the floor, cowed to the end
plans they were drawn and letters were sent

chorus
We just try, to get by
Waiting for the price to fall
marking time, stood in line
queue and you might get some more
queue and you might get some more

Way back in the day the world had a call
dead fishes in lakes, the elephants sawn
the path up ahead was clear and loud
they drowned out the noise with money and power

chorus
We just try, to get by
Waiting for the price to fall
marking time, stood in line
queue and you might get some more

Fear has come to stay
the games the leaders play
mission's underway
the games the leaders play

The government man is starting to tweak
the powers that leave the residents weak
the path up ahead was written in stone
they'll come your stairs and smash up your home

chorus
We just try, to get by
Waiting for the price to fall
marking time, stood in line
queue and you might get some more

Thinking of the days gone by
Zapata with a victory cry
