Ted Leo Bartomelo And The Buzzin' Bees lyrics

I know I've been distant, but I feel a change coming on
I know I've been resistant, but I feel a change, way too strong
You've fought all their wars, and you've worked for every boss
You've traveled over country, and you've been home and you've been lost
I know I've been missing, but I feel the change we've been waiting on
I know I've been resistant, but I feel the change - it's way too strong
You've paid and you've been paid, but at what pains, just to belong?
You've played, but have you been played by this game all along?
I know I've been distant, but I feel a change coming on
I know I've been resistant, but I feel a change, way too strong
Arguments, questions, our struggles and lessons
But do you feel smiled on by your past and present?
I still believe the futures unwritten

Living and dying like a damned human being
Believe in the buzzing of bees around me and we'll get on
What pain has been nagging in our brains and turning us wrong?
What weight has been dragging on our train for oh, so long?
See, I've broken down the doors and found nought but dust and
Stones for our graves
See, we've spoken around it all, but now I trust we can carry the day
'Cause I know I've been missing but I feel the change we've been waiting on
And I know I've been resistant, but I feel the change - it's way too strong
