Modern Times -New Model Army[00:00:01]
It seems strange to write about these things now[00:00:40]
But the time has probably come when we should[00:00:43]
Accept whatever is past and gone and never will return [00:00:46]
Looking back to the beginning[00:00:52]
I see a flood of painful memories[00:00:54]
And the bitter hurt and wounded pride that comes with our defeat[00:00:57]
We set out with our heads held high [00:01:03]
So sure our ground our righteousness [00:01:06]
The new Jerusalem to be built with love and guts and truth[00:01:09]
But in the end we surrendered easily [00:01:14]
It's no use pretending otherwise [00:01:18]
Well most of us had a little something to lose enough to break our nerve [00:01:20]
Well some of us made an easy peace and moved into the Brave New World;[00:01:38]
It's hard for the true believers to look back now and realise[00:01:43]
That for many of the crowd it was just the fashion the cause of the moment [00:01:49]
Well we if anyone should know that you can look pretty dumb[00:01:53]
Standing in last year's clothes [00:01:58]
And some of us shell-shocked still ran for shelter and do the rituals[00:02:01]
The same old way pretending that someone out there cares[00:02:07]
And some of us live in the modern world [00:02:12]
We give unto Caesar what is due[00:02:15]
And harbour the bitterness of defeat and daydreams of revenge [00:02:18]
Now nothing you see out there is real [00:02:58]
It matters not what you believe in [00:03:01]
It matters less what you say but only what you are [00:03:04]
It matters what you are It matters what you are It matters what you are[00:03:10]
