This Boy Lyrics - Singles - Brendan Perry

Never ever wanted to fight in your war 

Never wanted to fight your wars for you 

This boy only believes in love 

Never wanted to sign away my rights 

Never wanted to hand over my life 

This boy only believes in love 

This boy bends backwards 

While this boy crawls on his tummy 

And this boy prays for forgiveness for all of our sins 

For the state we're in 

Sometimes I feel like I'm sleepwalking 

In a big and haunted house 

Just stumbling around in the darkness 

Can't seem to get to sleep at night 

Because of the lies, the lies, the lies 

Is all we've been told 

Sometimes it's hard for us to find the truth 

In a world we no longer seem to understand 

But don't let them break us and don't let them nail us 

Into boxes for the old man's plea 

This boy is coming home from the war 

Coming in from the cold, to settle old scores 

End old scorn
