Downbeat Clique

[Verse 1]
For independence we alone define
Open-ended, not monopolised
It's just as it is
Does not need overstatement
Don't broadcast it from the rooftops
It's we alone that convene

[Chorus 1]
But radical actor, there you are
The radical statesman picking holes
But radical actor, there you are
The radical stateman's checklist of faults

[Chorus 2]
But radical actor, there you are
In radical terms this target's soft
But radical actor, there you are
In radical terms it's power to your lost soul
But radical actor, there you are
The radical heights of alienating
To be a cut above
Or below

[Bridge]
Infighting starts to establish
A clearly marked distance because image is at stake
Infighting starts to establish
A clearly marked distance because image is at stake

[Hook 1]
Mindlessly stifling
Downbeat clique
Down-at-heel
Downbeat clique
Downbeat clique
Downbeat clique
Downbeat clique
Downbeat clique
Downbeat clique

Infighting starts to establish
A clearly marked distance because image is at stake
Infighting starts to establish
A clearly marked distance because image is at stake

[Hook 2]
Pitifully sniping
Downbeat clique
Downbeat clique
Downbeat clique
Re-branded morality
Downbeat clique
Downbeat clique
Downbeat clique
Exactly what are you achieving?

[Verse 3]
The faithful patron of one conclusion
With reflection, effects are null and void
It's just as it is

[Chorus 3]
But radical actor, there you are
The radical statesman picking holes
But radical actor, there you are
In radical terms it's power to your lost soul
But radical actor, there you are
The radical slip into social structure
And your threatening alliance

[Outro]
With the norm
With the norm
With the norm
With the norm
With the norm
With the norm
With the norm
