The Big Push - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Tell, tell me the reasons why

Tell me every rumour you've been told

'Cause everybody knows they're dangerous

Sell me some of that wonder stuff

The stuff that lets you look at them and nod

Smile and say, "Thank God that wasn't us"

When it all goes to pieces and it won't be long

Oh, once you've had your fun

We'll all just sit around

Waiting 'til the big push comes

Now the time that we've been waiting for

The moment that you'll finally realise

Your promises are lies, they turn to dust

Time, time changes everything

Can turn you from a hero to a dog

Living in a fog like the rest of us

When it all goes to pieces and it won't be long

Oh, once you've had your fun

We'll all just sit around

Waiting 'til the big push comes

Write, write me a pretty poem

Make belive that paradise is here

Future's coming clear

Sun through the clouds

When it all goes to pieces and it won't be long

Oh, once you've had your fun

We'll all just sit around

Waiting 'til the big push comes

And when it all goes to pieces and it won't be long

Once you've had your fun

We'll all just sit around

And wait until the big push comes
