[Verse 1]

A politician with a suntan

Shortening your lifespan

Looking for a rebrand

At the bottom of the quicksand

Player with a clean sheet

Priced outta the cheap seats

Wandering the back streets

Straight onto the junk heap

[Pre-Chorus]

(Ah-ah) What are we afraid of?

Life catching up with us

(Ah-ah) Pulling out the carpet

Right out from under us

[Chorus]

Keep putting, keep putting on pressure

They don't want us together tonight

Keep following down to the letter

And they’ve got us forever alright

[Verse 2]

Writer on a wrong turn

Learning how to unlearn

Tell me that I'm handsome

Hundred million dollar ransom

For the "Portrait of a Young Man"

Lying in the wrong hands

Thе gallery could tempt me

Now thе frame is empty

[Pre-Chorus]

(Ah-ah) What are we afraid of?

Life catching up with us

(Ah-ah) Pulling out the carpet

Right out from under us

[Chorus]

Keep putting, keep putting on pressure

They don't want us together tonight

If we keep following down to the letter

They’ve got us forever, alright

Alright, alright, hoo!

[Bridge]

They don't want what is best for you

That's why they're so obsessed with you

[Interlude]

Keep putting, keep putting on pressure

They don't want us together tonight

[Chorus]

Keep putting, keep putting on pressure

They don't want us together tonight

If we keep following down to the letter

Then they've got us forever, alright

Alright, alright
