Barry Lawton - This Bitterness Is Rising

Don't know where it all started
But I know now where it all must stop
There's nothing you can do when the dice is loaded
When your pissing against a wind that will not stop

This bitterness is rising
It keeps rising until the point where it must stop
This bitterness will leave you blinded
Should it take you down and let it get on top

What's ugly is the stench of faceless smugness
You're bound by the company you're in
Its the playing of this game that leaves you filthy
From the kind of filth that crawls under your skin

This bitterness is rising
It keeps rising until the point where it must stop
This bitterness will leave you blinded
Should it take you down and let it get on top

The playing field was rigged to bring us down
They dress it up as progress in a fine and fetching gown
For all the smell of bullshit on their breath
Their guiding hands strangled our jobs to death
Their guiding hands strangled our jobs to death
There guiding hands

Better hold your tongue and your silence
All have their price at which they can be sold
Its the difference between a sleepless night and a conscience
Between the shitty stick and the spoon made of gold

This bitterness is rising
It keeps rising until the point where it must stop
This bitterness will leave you blinded
Should it take you down and let it get on top
