Sham 69 - Voices

Voices in my head shouting their pain
While everyone around me is taking the blame
I hear their crying, I shed their tears
I've been rolling the dice for so many years

Voices, what do you want of me
Voices, which way do I turn
Voices, nightmares and mind games
Put down on paper for rock and roll puppets to laugh at

Jailers of passion on a one way street
Only mirrored reflections of people I meet
So turn on the noise hit yourself in the face
Well I've got the card to beat your ace

Voices, what do you want of me
Voices, which way do I turn
Voices, nightmares and mind games
Put down on paper for rock and roll puppets to laugh at

Temptations all around me
But I've got no choice
Emotions of an animal
On a tightened lead
Time is a circle on a telephone
I hear it ringing but I'm not at home
Problems are shallow so don't look back
Black and white checkmate
I won so hows that

Voices, what do you want of me
Voices, which way do I turn
Voices, nightmares and mind games
Put down on paper for rock and roll puppets to laugh at
