"Closer" lyrics - THE FIXX

Burn a bridge
Blow up a car
Torch a flag
I'd bear the scar

Hustle for peace
Settle for less
Fundamentals
Make their bets

The battle lost is irony
Dumming down
What's in it for me?

Out for lunch
I felt the weight
Believing everything I've read

Getting closer

Don't you feel closer?

This gaping monster
Of apathy
Tell me man
What is it to be?

There's freedom of choice
A choice or not?
There's so much to lose
Many have not

The pressure builds
Anger grows
Blows the lid
As it overthrows

Blind rage
Counting death
[?] orders
Lost the town

Getting closer

Getting closer

Getting closer

How far from closer?

Hey ay yee ay yee ay

Gas or electric
Fuel Noah's Ark
This where I get off
Fools disembark
Left behind
In paper and pen
Revolution invents again
We're free as far
As we can throw the key
A prison of reason
Makes room for me
Strike a chord
Hit a nerve
Not fit for purpose
Or to serve
Well is it a bird?
Is it a drone?
A violent peace
Protects our home
Talking robots
Are on the calls
Self deluded
On a smart dumb phone
Why cast a spell?
When you can send a text
Mesmerized
And we've all been hexed
Now the Targets
Where we shop
I'm overdosing as the penny drops

And its getting closer

Don't you feel closer?

Getting closer

Far from closer

Hey ay yee ay yee ay

Closer?

Closer?

No sir!

Don't you feel

Closer?

Closer?

No sir!

Don't you feel

Closer?

Come a little closer

Don't you feel

Closer?
