It Failed To Explode Lyrics - Napalm Death

It failed to explode 

Talk is cheap 

A euphoric reflex as tensions overheat 

Action comes cheap 

Romance and emancipate, romance and emancipate 

As tensions overheat 

As tensions overheat 

Define liberty 

But a short-lived reprieve until it's once again displaced? 

Grievances cease? 

To hang on tenterhooks until, to hang on tenterhooks until... 

It's once again displaced? 

It's once again displaced?

It failed to depose 

It stalled at the coming to blows 

It failed to explode 

Explode, explode 

Celebratory in the debris 

Deceptive empirical collapse 

Yet... 

It failed to atone 

It failed to explode 

Sadly illusive in its epoch-making 

Pocket change for a moment of peace 

Because... 

It failed to disown 

It failed to explode 

There's always a hole to fill 

Circumventing convictions 

Autocratic traits are the constant 

If at first (to appease) with a different spin 

Photos 

It failed to explode 

Outside watchers beat their brows 

Nurturing vested interests 

Is the infinite struggle worth it 

When there's always a hole to fill? 

It failed to explode 

It failed to explode
