Where Are We Running To?

from If We're Damned​.​.​. by Jess Silk

/

lyrics

There’s a fight down at the bar
They’re all hurling words and swearing at the police cars
There’s a fight out in the fields
With all the yapping dogs biting at their heels

Well, which way will we go when the fight is done?
Which way will we go and where will we run?

Here them marching down the street
From left to right hear the stamping of their feet now
Hear them marching down the road
From right to left they’re all marching for their own

Well, which way will we go when the fight is done?
Which way will we go and where will we run?

I’ll take your shoes, you take mine
We’ll march together side by side
And decide which way we will go

We’re just people you and I
Our lives dictated by the rolling of the dice
We’re just people me and you
They flip the coin; heads they win, tails we lose

Where are we running to?
Where are we running to?

You know I don’t believe in fate
We’re all a product of the times and where we’re placed here
I know you don’t believe in god
So stop pretending to be something that you’re not

Well, which way will we go when the fight is done?
Which way will we go and where will we run?

I’ll take your shoes, you take mine
We’ll march together side by side
And decide which way we will go

We’re just people you and I
Our lives dictated by the rolling of the dice
We’re just people me and you
They flip the coin; heads they win, tails we lose

Where are we running to?
Where are we running to?

We’ve got a choice to make the world a better place
If we could just meet on the thin side of the coin
And we could find some middle ground
And not just shout above the sound

We’re just people you and I
Our lives dictated by the rolling of the dice
We’re just people me and you
They flip the coin; heads they win, tails we lose

Where are we running to?
Where are we running to?

Jess Silk Dudley, UK

Jess Silk is a guitarist, singer and songwriter from the Black Country. Her shouty but melodic brand of folk/punk music often has her being likened to a female Frank Turner or Billy Bragg, and it gets people sitting up and listening. Armed only with an increasingly sticker-covered acoustic guitar and a distinctive, gravely voice that many don’t expect, Jess plays to audiences up and down the UK. ... more
