Manic Street Preachers

The Everlasting

The gap that grows between our lives
The gap our parents never had
Stop those thoughts control your mind
Replace those things that you despise
Oh you're old I hear you say
It doesn't mean that I don't care
I don't believe in it anymore
Pathetic acts for a worthless cause
Pre-Chorus (x2)
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
Chorus
But now unforgiven, the everlasting everlasting
Verse 2 (chords same as verse 1)
The world is full of refugees,
they're just like you and just like me
But as people we have a choice
to end the void with all it's force
So don't forget or don't pretend
it's all the same now in the end
It was said in a different light
destroys my days and haunts my nights
Pre-Chorus (x2)
