The Twang - Mainline Lyrics

Theres some greedy motherfuckers on the mainline
Rats hiding in the city of greed
Bringing families tears in their twilight years
Ruining a nurtured seed
Giving out the wrong signal to the young man
Who potentially could have been a scientist
Finding solutions for a world in trouble
But cash is so hard to resist
Somebody needs to get a backbone
Cause somebody's taking the piss
They get the party where you go home happy
We get one where you're sick
There's a whole generation on the breadline
Sinking in a sea of debt
In a materialistic lost society
There ain't no time for regret.

You ain't got nothing if you ain't got love
You ain't got nothing if you ain't got love

I hear shopliftings on the incline
Maybe it's a sign of the times
Years of being irresponsible
Stick it on the card every time
You got a nose that's longer than Pinocchio's
And it seems to be growing by the day
But what you gonna do when you got nothing
Then suddenly you're king for the day
Well history surely teaches one thing
That we don't learn from history
So look to the past never breathing your last
And maybe maybe you'll see
There's a one way ticket to the end my friend
And if what they say is true
Then I couldn't think of anything better
Than meeting the end with you

You ain't got nothing if you ain't got love
You ain't got nothing if you ain't got love

How come you look so sad
Don't believe em when they tell you there'll be no coming back
Your prides still intact
I don't hear anyone denying the fact that
The radio is so bad
But I got too much love to walk away

You ain't got nothing if you ain't got love
You ain't got nothing if you ain't got love
