Things Don't Work Out Lyrics - Singles - Franks Enemy

This silver platter world 

Handing out its song and dance 

Says subjective obsolescence 

Is the right of all humans 

Condemned human race dancing 

To their hormonal tunes 

Which change according to food intake 

And tides changed by the moon 

Try it you may not like it trade it in come tomorrow 

For the main objective in this life 

Is to be devoid of sorrow 

Buy it if you can or steal it if you must 

And look into the mirror 

If you need someone you can trust 

And we can say things didn't work out 

Til we say things don't work out 

You can say things don't work out 

I say it's people who don't 

Guided by fear of all commitment 

We can run but we're still owned 

By all our petty fears and desires we'll never satisfy 

On our sick beds with question marks 

In our heads as we die 

God has shown us what is right 

And what there is to care for 

But we're in a hall of mirrors darkly 

Uncaring to find the door 

Words like sin redemption and trust 

Hit our ears irrelevantly 

Condemning ourselves to no hiding place 

In the time of missed glory 

To God we'll say things didn't work out 

And God will say shut up and get out
