born to be obscure
up to my neck in promises
with stakes so high it's hit or miss
I barely dare to shed a tear
another drop in a vicious sea
a speck of dust in our galaxy
too hard too late too much too bad
gotta look the other way a lonely voice of reason is not enough
so long! so long!
gotta look the other way no one else is willing to speak up
so long! so long!
where is your excuse?
I am the innocent casualty
of my split personality
sedated by the pleasing norm
I choke on stale apologies
exceptions cause calamities
hell freezes over, now we pay
gotta look the other way a lonely voice of reason is not enough
so long! so long!
gotta look the other way no one else is willing to speak up
so long! so long!

Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
