Stiff Little Fingers - State of Emergency Lyrics

You're looking for something
But what could that be?
You look for a hero
Yeah, don't look at me
You're lookin' around yourself, there's nothing you can find
You look for solutions
But hate has made you blind
You keep looking 'round you
For something that's in your mind
And you've spent the last ten years of your life
In this emergency

So please, just don't sit there
Let's try to break out
From all the hatred
Suspicion and doubt
Try to change your life that is no life at all
Try to break down the imaginary wall
And if you couldn't be bothered
Well then, my friend, you'll fall
And spend all the rest of your life
In this emergency

Don't look at me
It's an emergency!

One-two-three-four!
