Lyrics

I was walking by the river, I was asking myself questions But the answers I came up with didn't fit Some have breakfast in bed some aren't properly fed The way they talk about it makes me want to spit And they're raising all their eyebrows at the raising of the pound Whilst they raise another city to the ground And we're opening the doors and walking 'round on all fours Looking for a sense in lost and found Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious I really thought I'd have my tongue ties if I stood up to shout But all they did was listen without their ears And I thought I'd be beheaded if I stuck my neck out But they just gave me a hanky for my tears I have confidence in confidence, I hope that hope pulls me through But I think a little more is needed now We've got to form a congregation and sink down the nation Batter all the sinners to the ground Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious (A middle bit of some repute) Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious
