lyrics

New Skin

I think I need a new skin
This one’s worn a bit thin
Do you think it could make
any difference ?

I Can’t seem to get in
Can’t seem to get on
These lines never end
This end never begins
I think I need a new skin
It doesn’t make
any difference

left my people in the city
I’m Getting sick of living
I been waiting too long
Left waiting for too long
I’m sick of living
but I’m scared of dying
I’m going home

Come in come in
That’s a fine new skin
Do you think it will make any difference

Are you worried
You look ashamed
Are you strapped
Are you a part of the game
You’re not gangster
You’re not free
You’re another new slave
In the 21st century
You take the blame
You take the fall
You take the drugs
till you hit the wall
Do you think it makes
any difference .
