Living on a Thin Line by Kinks

All the stories have been told Of kings and days of old But there's no England now All the wars that were won and lost Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore

All the lies we were told All the lies of the people running 'round They're castles have burned Now I see change But inside we're the same as we ever were
Living on a thin line, ooh Tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line, ooh Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line Living this way, each day's a dream What am I, what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line, ooh Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Now another century nearly gone What are we gonna leave for the young? What we couldn't do, what we wouldn't do It's a crime but does it matter?
Does it matter much? Does it matter much to you? Does it ever really matter? Yes, it really, really matters
Living on a thin line, ooh Tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line, ooh Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Then another leader says "Break their hearts and break some heads" Is there nothing we can say or do? Blame the future on the past Always lost in blood and guts And when they're gone, it's me and you
Living on a thin line, ooh Tell me now, what are we supposed to do? Living on a thin line, ooh Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line, ooh
