Sophistication

I prefer sophistication aware of my reputation
And the safety of the nation
But when I watch the clock on the wall I get paralysed

There is so little time to express my thoughts
What I want and what I get are always two different things
Sound asleep with knives under our pillows
Tonight

There are so many expectations
I know you saw me on the news last night
And the safety of the nation is in my hands

There is so little time to do so many good deeds
What I want and what I get are always two different things
We've got so much blood on our hands
Tonight
