Poison - Gary Numan

Help me

I’m in disgrace

Witness slow death

All over my face

Help me

Pick up my heart

Tell my friends

Wherever they are

Listen

They stole my dream

New corruption

Know what I mean?

Listen

Do you think I don’t know?

I’ve got a face like metal

And a radio

Listen up

Listen up good

New man’s fame

Is new man’s poison

Stand up

Stand up and fight

Stand up I won’t quit so

Stand up and play

Stand up

Stand up and scream

Stand up I won’t run so

Stand up and lose

Listen up

Listen up good

Innocence

Is new corruption

Memories?

I don’t need

A dead museum

And a grudge to feed

Memories

Rewrite shame

Rearrange the feelings

To ease your pain

Big lie

So this is the word

A needle in the back

And my voice unheard

Big lie

So this is the news

Radio lost

And I’ve nothing to lose

Nu voice

Said this is insane

I’m trying to learn the rhythm

Of the rule change game

Nu voice

I’m a clock with no hands

Someone said forgive them

I don’t know if I can

Tell me

What did I do?

You’d think I’d sold perversion

To the son of God (Who?)

Tell me

What did I say?

I don’t believe that honesty

Pays

Listen up

Listen up good

New man’s fame

Is new man’s poison

Listen up

Listen up good

Innocence

Is new corruption
