Gap In The Fence Lyrics
I lie here
Staring up at the stratosphere
And hoping we're gonna get out of here
And it seems mad
That we're born on the doorstep
Of squalor and of pedestals
And I lie here
Surrounded by a range of general anesthetics
To drowse the fact that funding in 'security'
Is not matched by spreading equality
You'll hear us singing
In the sunlight where you caught us
Plotting the downfall of hoarders
In the sunlight where you caught us
You'll hear us singing
In the sunlight where you caught us
Plotting the downfall of hoarders
In the sunlight where you caught us
It seems that every gap in the fence
We'll peak, we'll scratch, we'll stretch
We'll grab anything we can
But if we group together
And made a bigger hole
Not just for our children's hands
But for bigger plans
Yeah, if we group together
And made a hole
'Cause I don't know about you
But I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
Woah
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah
We live so subserviently
Accepting all normality
Drenched with routine
Doused in the foreseen
And yes, granted we prosper
But the fact that we prosper
Is even taken for granted
Staring up at the stratosphere
And hoping we're gonna get out of here
That we're born on the doorstep
Of squalor and of pedestals
Surrounded by a range of general anesthetics
To drowse the fact that funding in 'security'
Is not matched by spreading equality
In the sunlight where you caught us
Plotting the downfall of hoarders
In the sunlight where you caught us
In the sunlight where you caught us
Plotting the downfall of hoarders
In the sunlight where you caught us
We'll peak, we'll scratch, we'll stretch
We'll grab anything we can
And made a bigger hole
Not just for our children's hands
But for bigger plans
And made a hole
'Cause I don't know about you
But I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
Woah
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah
I've gotta get out of here
I've gotta get out of here
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah
Accepting all normality
Drenched with routine
Doused in the foreseen
And yes, granted we prosper
But the fact that we prosper
Is even taken for granted

This is probably my favourite song off Common Dreads, sound's amazing when it kicks in. :'D
whole should be hole :)
Definitely the hidden treasure of the album. New sound but still managing to reflect Take To The Skies style
After the last "woah-oh-oh" bit, the end part is
We live so subserviently accepting all normality drenched with routine doused in the foreseen and yes, granted we do prosper. But the fact that we prosper is even taken for granted.
Basically this song is about how we live repetitive, unexciting lives, and it's up to us to break the cycle and make our own lives. I think.
