Up the Hill Backwards Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The vacuum created by the arrival of freedom
And the possibilities it seems to offer

[Chorus]
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it

[Verse 2]
A series of shocks - sneakers fall apart
Earth keeps on rolling, witnesses falling

[Chorus 1]
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it

[Chorus 2]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, up the hill backwards
It'll be alright, ooh-ooh

[Verse 3]
While we sleep, they go to work
We're legally crippled, it's the death of love

[Chorus]
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it

[Bridge]
More idols than realities, ooh-ooh
I'm OK, you're so-so, ooh-ooh

[Chorus 2]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, up the hill backwards
It'll be alright, ooh-ooh

[Instrumental Outro]
