Jimmy

(album: Modern Artillery - 2003)

Jimmy what's your vote?
You don't have to repay them after all

Jimmy told of those who'd been cheated
But were never defeated
Just morally wrong

Jimmy told of those who were jaded
Their colours had faded
Like they didn't belong

And they lied a new life they were seeking
Yes they lied now their plans are leaking

Jimmy told of those who had made it
And others who'd paid it
But the price was wrong

Everybody's too busy fighting
To bother deciding
What has to be done

Jimmy it seems as though it can be sold
As easy as a story
Can be told

You don't have to repay them after all

Jimmy had a dream he would make it
And he wouldn't fake it
Like the others had done

He believed in those who were jaded
Whose colours had faded
Like they didn't belong

Now we're all faded
