Lyrics:

Things in life aint always quite what they seem, theres more than
one given angle to any one given scene. So bear that in mind next
time you try to intervene on any one given angle, on any one given
scene.
MARK:
My name is mark I go to Uni college
Dont socialise that much I just revise build knowledge.
At times I find that I become a virtual recluse
I let my belt of interaction hang decisively loose
But I came here to learn and thats the life that I choose
So if people think that Im a geek they can bring their abuse
See a lot of people think that Im boring and say
That maybe Im a weirdo or maybe Im gay
But I dont care coz when I get a good job good pay
Ill get a house for just my brother and me some day
And thats the reason Im here, just to build for the future
And if it means better grades yeah Id even sleep with my tutor
Things in life aint always quite what they seem, theres more than
one given angle to any one given scene. So bear that in mind next
time you try to intervene on any one given angle, on any one given
scene.
PAUL:
My name is Paul Ive been a guard for 6 months
The shop that I guard is better than most dumps
Thats why I like it here my boss hes a pro
Hes taught me tricks of the trade that other guards wouldnt know
Ive learnt that in this game, theres some rules, you gotta bend
And not to forget these thieving pricks aint your friend
And that appearance is key coz theres a message to send
And above all of that its your fellow guards you defend.
The other day my boss was stabbed by some lowlife psycho
Hes in hospital now so every night thats where I go
Hes on the brink right now but hes showing no fear though
Coz if he dies there in bed he knows hes dying a hero.
Things in life aint always quite what they seem, theres more than
one given angle to any one given scene. So bear that in mind next
time you try to intervene on any one given angle, on any one given
scene.
KEITH:
My name is Keith and I aint so much a racist
But if one reached out a hand Id decline their embraces
I work security in a shop in charge of 5 other guards
And Ive got all of their respect coz I run this shit hard
I nicked one thief today; he didnt show enough respect attention
So I grabbed him by the neck, see thats my form of redemption
I do no real harm; just make sure that it hurts
It aint going by the book but believe me it works
Then I sent him on his way, that little shit knows the score now
Instil a little bit of fear. He wont darken my door now
And thats what I do. Stop these kids from decline.
Do what their parents wouldnt do, put down some boundaries
lines.
Things in life aint always quite what they seem, theres more than
one given angle to any one given scene. So bear that in mind next
time you try to intervene on any one given angle, on any one given
scene.
BILLY:
My name is Billy Ive been beaten since I was 3
Mum died when I was born and dad takes it out on me
He aint a bad man. He just gets drunk feels alone
I tend to go for a walk, hope hes asleep when I get home.
I dont like to talk about it much coz like I said it aint his fault
It only happens when hes drunk as a last resort
I wanted to get him a gift to show my support
But I had no money so I stole I guess I got caught.
At times like that I kinda switch of my mind
Stare blankly into space and let what happens unwind
That seemed to anger this guard, he put his hands round my neck
He said it's time for me to learn some manners respect
It hurt, but Ive had worse before
But it made me realise life was just a series of wars
I went straight home that day and locked the bathroom door
Took a blade to both wrists, they won't hurt me no more.
Things in life aint always quite what they seem, theres more than
one given angle to any one given scene. So bear that in mind
next time you try to intervene on any one given angle, on any one
given scene.
MARK:
My name is Mark and today I was told my brother was dead
I returned from Uni and burst into tears on his bed
Under his pillow, I found his suicide note I read
What had happened that day what had fucked up his head.
The anger I felt right then there no words to express
I filled up with so much rage there was no way to digest
I grabbed a knife walked to town, it was time to regress
Back to an eye for and eye, last breath for last breath
I went straight up to the counter said Id like to speak
To the guard that nicked my brother on Tuesday of this week
As the girl went through a door disappeared out of sight
I put my hand in my pocket and I gripped the knife tight
This was it, as she pointed me out to the guard
My hand began to shake as held the knife so hard
Then as he approached me there was nothing to say
I stabbed that fucker eight times before they could take me away.
Things in life aint always quite what they seem, theres more than
one given angle to any one given scene. So bear that in mind
next time you try to intervene on any one given angle, on any one
given scene.
