Lyrics:
I'm sick of all these people telling me...every, every day they think they're clever. 
And they're much cleverer than me. Tell me what i should and shouldn't do. 
And you're the same and you feel the same. But you just sit on your arse. 
You just sit on your arse and take it. All of them telling you what you can and can't do.

Lyrics:
You can smell the fires...you can smell the burning in the air, man. 
Makes no difference...all i'm saying... 
All i'm trying to say is that it only takes five seconds to make it look right. 
Just five seconds to decide it. 

(bass only)
To decide it's right.  
Just for a change - a solution. A wee...a wee revolution.
