One Man Island

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
