lyrics

I had a feeling we were going to lose it
I'd a feeling it was slipping away
Time flies, we were staking our lives
Like a bunch of little children at play
In a flash, it all went crashing
Staring at the mess on the ground
Fine words for all this passion
Now we're all humiliation bound

In the amateur hour
This is the amateur hour

A million strong in the market square throng
And the government is going to fall
We organize through your network of lies
Who ever could make sense of it all?
Democracy means you listen to me
Say what you like and do what you're told
To think the blow could have come from below
Is impossible - but still it unfolds

Cold in the amateur hour
This is the amateur hour
This is the moment when we're taking the power
Taking the pain
Taking the feeling
Always the same
Taking the new age
Out of the old
Taking the prisoner
Out of the Cold
Taking the moment
Taking the reins
Taking our chances
No more remains
No more the professionals
Hold us in thrall
If we knew what we were doing
We couldn't do it at all.

I said I'd shoot, but you didn't believe me
Now you only have yourself to blame
You never thought, now your life is cut short
By the creature that you sought to defame
Parasite on the vessels of light
A purveyor of the media lie
I only hope through the rifle's scope
That they won't remember you when you die

Cry in the amateur hour
This is the amateur hour
No more lies in the amateur hour
Now you die, in the amateur hour
One more time
