I Think The Answer`s Yes Lyrics

(heaton/rotheray)

 I'm walking through these pastures

 I'm picking up sweet fruit

 I'm shaking hands with people

 That previously i'd shoot

 But nothing will dissuade me

 Nothing will dilute

 I want to execute

 I want to execute

 

 And you tend to meet a lot of scum en route

 It doesn't mean you've joined the other side

 And because i still wear shorts and my smile is oh so cute

 It doesn't mean i'll run away and hide

 

 To a world where the leaders finally confess

 (i think the answer's yes, i think the answer's yes)

 To the burning of the stock exchange and bombing of the press

 (i think the answer's yes, i think the answer's yes)

 

 I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, i think the answer's yes

 

 I'm walking through these corridors

 Where crime meets pantomime

 They're laughing and they're drinking

 On the swill of overtime

 And no-one seems to know about

 The death-wish that they've signed

 Ah, life's unkind

 Ah, life's unkind

 

 And they see me as a potential new recruit

 They rub their hands, slap their backs and smile

 But i still wear suspenders underneath my business suit

 So needn't worry about me for a while

 

 So to a world without hunger, where royalty face death

 (i think the answer's yes, i think the answer's yes)

 To the breaking down of barriers of north, south,

 East and west

 (i think the answer's yes, i think the answer's yes)

 

 I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, i think the answer's yes

 I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, i think the answer's yes

 

 And no-one seems to know about

 The death-wish that they've signed

 Ah, life's unkind

 Ah, life's unkind

 Life's unkind, life's unkind

 From poor old u2 to poor old simple minds

 No amnesty for murderers of poor old working class

 Rope or gas, rope or gas, rope or gas

 No amnesty for murderers of poor old working class

 Rope or gas, rope or gas
