lyrics

Century – Emily Triggs

They’re hanging flowers, it’s Victoria Day
For all the ghosts you just can’t face
It’s dark in the rooms where you bend the rules
You’re stealing memories you got nothing to lose

It’s beautiful here but you can’t look down
You turn your backs as we burn to the ground
Living is hard here it’s harder than you know
You through up your hands saying there’s nothing we can do, nothing we can do

Woah, in this century
You stand around and watch it while it’s happening
Woah, in this century
You stand around and watch it while it’s happening

A factory girl she’s against the bricks
Fifteen minutes, she’s back on shift
She’s got her hair tied back she leans into talk
You tell her how to say it or she gets laid off, gets laid off

Woah, in this century
You stand around and watch it while it’s happening
Woah, in this century
You stand around and watch it while it’s happening

I thought more from you was what we deserved
I thought more from you is what you’d deliver
I thought more of you I’m so disappointed

Being nothing is the best we’ve got
There’s walls you built with the pain you bought
We got garbage streets that you say we own
A sleeping giant in every home, every home

Woah, in this century
You stand around and watch it while it’s happening
Woah, in this century
You stand around and watch it while it’s happening
Woah, in this century
You stand around and watch it while it’s happening
Woah, in this century
You stand around and watch it while it’s happening
You stand around and watch it while it’s happening
