All Scratched Up Lyrics - 1996

[ Buy All Scratched Up ]

all around the world i've seen the right wing on the streets
boots and braces or three-piece suits; it's all the same to me
fists and fury sound street frustration
in every nation commerce calls the tune
take a left turn for inspiration; there's just a few more smiles
but all you see is blue suits and red ties on both sides of the aisle
the left said things were gonna change now
things were gonna be so much better
hah
and like leaves from an autumn sky
the promises keep falling
can you hear it? Well they all sound the same
and then they say you're gonna fall in line and march in time with me
well in so many minds, black and white words read red white and blue
top gun dreams in stars and stripes, where promises come true
but what you see is what you get
and what I see is more of the same
who's gonna lead now?
