The New Responsibility

(S. Bell)

Bitter pill it catches, you hack and cough and choke
You swallow
The glass it sweats and beads as fingers jerk and grope
So hollow
This fix, this cure, this promise, escape your frailties
You follow

Welcome to the new responsibility

(Chorus)

The new way, the new life, the new accountability
The new way, the new life, it’s here to set you free
The new way, the new life, the new accountability
The new way, the new life, can you afford to see?

Wrinkles fat and conscience, this pill corrects it all
Fruitless
For extra it’ll even start a pointless war
Useless
100 percent feedback and contractually
Hopeless
Free postage for the new responsibility

(Chorus)

And I will cut you down, reaped like the rust of wheat
Frozen fooled, standing stunned as if race is not yet won
And I will cut you down; you’ll fall like the rest
A broken heap, a ramshackle hope of a greatness never to come

Just out of reach, the glass it falls and shatters on the floor
You realise, as breath runs short, you’ve no-one left to call
This is the price you’ll have to pay; the fine print says it all
But other flock to follow and swallow past sins whole

And I will cut you down, eyes fixed at the sun
Chalken hands, ashen face like all your world’s come undone
And I will cut you down, a gaping tear to mend
The stillness of a once beating heart, we all die in the end

It’s everything or nothing
