A Sense Of Belonging
Once there was confidence, but now there is fear
Once there was laughter, but now only tears
Once there were reasons for our optimism
But now we're all drowning in a sea of cynicism

But I hope and I pray in my own naive way
That one day we can reach some sort of understanding
Try a little more sharing
Try a little more giving
Might find a sense of belonging
Might find a sense of belonging

And I know you think I'm young and naive
Because I go on CND [1] marches
Well, that's my decision
And I think that you're the one who's naive
If you believe all the things you see on television
It's all propaganda
And like a fool you accept it
And like a fool you ignore it
Why don't you try and stop it
Try and find a sense of belonging

I know you watch World in Action and Panorama
And to you it's just another soap opera drama
It can't happen here
Well, have a nice cup of tea and we'll all stay calm
And we'll come to no harm
In our nice warm underground shelters
There'll be Helter Skelter
There'll be babies dying
You'll hear their mothers crying
I've seen the devil smiling
I've seen the devil smiling
Try to find a sense of belonging
A sense of belonging
And you laugh and make jokes about what you will do
When the button is pressed and we hear the four minute warning
And if you think it's funny now wait 'till the bomb goes off
You'll be in fucking hysterics

You'll see babies dying
You'll hear mothers crying
I'm only asking for one thing
Just want a sense of belonging

No more weapons and no more wars
No more violence and what's it all for anyway?
It's all so senseless
Try to find a sense of belonging
Let's try a little more giving
Let's try a little more sharing
Might find a sense of belonging
And once there was confidence
And once there was laughter
But now there is fear
And now there are tears
And there's no reasons
For our optimism
You've gone and drowned me in your sea of pessimism

No more weapons and no more wars
No more violence and what's it all for anyway?
Try to find a sense of belonging
Oh, find a sense of sharing
Try a little more giving
Try a little more loving
Try to find a sense of belonging
