Ted Leo & The Pharmacists Bartolomeo And The Buzzing Of 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 the wars, and you've worked for every boss
You've travelled 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, question, our struggles and lessons

But do you feel smiled on by your past and present?

I still believe in 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 had 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.
