lyrics

Well I’m getting sick of this island mentality
That seems to survive in its own twisted history
The locals go native, while searching for witches to burn
and throwing themselves at clairvoyants with miracle cures, oh

It’s over
We’re done
You’ve had your
good fun
You’re leaving
we’re stuck
With people
Who forgot what it was they were even upset about

Well I’m getting sick of this island mentality
Blinded by nostalgic delusions of destiny
And in this grey
Unpleasant land
They’re cutting off
The helping hand
Oh there’s a madness
To the method
There is a madness
To the method, oh no

It’s over
We’re done
You’ve had your
good fun
You’re leaving
we’re stuck
With people
Who forgot what it was they were even upset about

Oh they can’t forget
How the sun never set
No they can’t forget
How the sun never set
But the beaches are cold, the fields are fallow
The streets cracked and old, the hills cast a shadow
If this is civil, then let us be savage
If this is civil, then let us be savage

Oh we’re going, we’re going, we’re going, we’re going native
Oh we’re going, we’re going, we’re going, we’re going native
Oh we’re going, we’re going, we’re going, we’re going native

Go native, go native, go native, go native, go native, go native, go native, go native
Go native, go native, go native, go native, go native, go native, go native, go native

It’s over
We’re done
You’ve had your
good fun
You’re leaving
we’re stuck
With people
Who forgot what it was they were even upset about
