Was This What You Expected? Lyrics

You're far far too old

For a temper this short

But chew my ear off

I can take a while more

He wants it all his way

Or nowt at all

Dare roll your eyes

And the dummy hits the floor

He'd knock the wheels from our wagon

If he thought we owed a penny

Many roll and show their belly

But no not us

Won't compromise to ill-advised advice

Capsize the ship and we'll hold our breath

Won't compromise no matter how unwise

So draw your sword and walk us to our death

Was this what you expected

The power grabbers elected

If it were down to me then they'd all see

The problems you erected

Now the shoe's on the other foot

And suddenly he gives a fuck

He's never ever had to feel

A pressure like this

As an unchecked hubris steers the ship

Into turmoil too many people have slipped

He'd knock the wheels from our wagon

If he thought we owed a penny

Many roll and show their belly

But no not us

Won't compromise to ill-advised advice

Capsize the ship and we'll hold our breath

Won't compromise no matter how unwise

So draw your sword and walk us to our death

Was this what you expected

The power grabbers elected

If it were down to me then they'd all see

The problems you erected

And I had never seen it

No I'd never even dreamed it

How one can be so lost at sea

But be the last to reap it

Was this what you expected

The power grabbers elected

If it were down to me then they'd all see

The problems you erected

And I had never seen it

No I'd never even dreamed it

How one can be so lost at sea

But be the last to reap it
