DEPECHE MODE - SPIRIT (2017)
1. GOING BACKWARDS
We
are not there yet
We have not evolved
We have no respect
We
have lost control
We're going backwards
Ignoring the
realities
Going backwards
Are you counting all the casualties
We
are not there yet
Where we need to be
We are still in debt
To
our insanities
We're going backwards
Turning back our
history
Going backwards
Piling on the misery
We
can track it all with satellites
See it all in plain sight
Watch
men die in real time
But we have nothing inside
We feel nothing
inside
We
are not there yet
We have lost our soul
The course has been
set
We're digging our own hole
We're going backwards
Armed
with new technology
Going backwards
To a caveman mentality
We
can emulate on consoles
Killings we can control
With senses
that have been dulled
Because there's nothing inside
We feel
nothing inside
We feel nothing inside
We feel nothing
Nothing
inside

WHERE'S THE REVOLUTION
You've
been kept down
You've been pushed 'round
You've been lied
to
You've been fed truths
Who's making your decisions
You or
your religion
Your government, your countries
You patriotic
junkies
Where's
the revolution
Come on people
You're letting me down
Where's
the revolution
Come on people
You're letting me down
You've
been pissed on
For too long
Your rights abused
Your views
refused
They manipulate and threaten
With terror as a
weapon
Scare you till you're stupefied
Wear you down until
you're on their side
Where's
the revolution
Come on people
You're letting me down
Where's
the revolution
Come on people
You're letting me down
The
train is coming
The train is coming
The train is coming
The
train is coming
So get on board
Get on board
Get on
board
Get on board
The engine's humming
The engine's
humming
The engine's humming
The engine's humming
So get on
board
Get on board
Get on board
Get on board
Where's
the revolution
Come on people
You're letting me down
Where's
the revolution
Come on people
You're letting me down

THE WORST CRIME
There's
a lynching in the square
You will have to join us
Everyone's
going to be there
We're setting up the truss
Once there were
solutions
Now we have no excuses
They got lost in confusion
So
we're preparing the nooses
And
oh we had so much time
How could we commit the worst crime
Blame
misinformation
Misguided leaders
Apathetic
hesitation
Uneducated readers
For whatever reason
We
now find ourselves in this
We are all charged with treason
There
is no one left to hiss
And
oh we had so much time
How could we commit the worst crime
We're
the judge and the jury
The hangman, the convict
It's too late
for fury
Our indictment was handpicked
So step up to the
gallows
And accept your sentence
For being so shallow
You
must pay your penance
And
oh we had so much time
How could we commit the worst crime
4.
SCUM
Hey
scum, hey scum
What have you ever done for anyone
Hey scum, hey
scum
What are you going to do when karma comes
A'
calling
And you're falling
And there's nowhere left to run
And
you're weeping
And not sleeping
And you're begging for your gun
Pull the trigger
Hey
scum, hey scum
What have you ever done for anyone
Hey scum, hey
scum
What will you do when judgement time has come
And
you're kneeling
And you're squealing
And you're looking for
someone
To bear witness
To your goodness
You can't even find
your son
Pull
the trigger
Pull the trigger
You wouldn't even offer up your crumbs
To
the dying
And crying
You're dead inside, you're numb
You're
hollow
And shallow
Your empty life is done
Pull
the trigger
Pull the trigger
Hey scum, hey scum
Pull the
trigger
5.
YOU MOVE
We
had something, that was yesterday
Temptations knocking at my
door.
You talk to me about the life we could've had
But we
don't have that life no more.
But
I like the way you move
Yeah I like the way you move for me
tonight
I like the way you move
I like the way you move for me
tonight
Alright now.
If
you give me something that you and I can play
Let me ring your
bell
I don't need you, I don't need your ball and chain
There's
no water in that well.
But
I like the way you move
I like the way you move for me tonight
I
like the way you move
I like the way you move for me
tonight
Alright yeah
All night
Alright now
All night.
Imagination
is all it takes
You came knocking at my door
You talk to me
about the life that we should have
You know, you could have given
more.
But
I like the way you move
Yeah I like the way you move for me
tonight
Yeah I like the way you move
I like the way you
move for me tonight
Alright now
All night.
6.
COVER ME
I've
felt better
I've been up all night
I can feel it coming
The
morning light
The air is so cold here
It's so hard to
breathe
We better take cover
Will you cover me.
Way
up here with Northern lights
Beyond you and me
I dreamt of us
in another life
One we've never reached.
You
know we're sinking
We could fade away
I'm not going down with
you
Not today
The air is so cold here
Too cold to see
We
have to take cover
Cover me
Way
up here with the Northern lights
Beyond these broken bars
I
pictured us in another life
Where we're all super stars.
7.
ETERNAL
Oh
little one
I will protect you
And surround you with my love
As
well as any man can
As well as any man could
I will be there
for you
Always
And when the black cloud
Rises
And the
radiation falls
I will look you in the eye
And kiss you
And
give you all my love
As well as any man can
As well as any man
could
You are my eternal
Eternal
Love
8.
POISON HEART
You
have poison in your heart
Yeah i'm sure of it
I knew
right from the start
From the moment we met
You know we have to
break up
You'll always be alone
You
know you've never ever been a friend
Now we're closer to the
edge
Oh oh oh no
Oh oh oh no.
There's
poison in your mind
Yeah i'm sure of it
You've never been that
kind
With all due respect
You know it's time to break up
You'll
always be alone
You
know you've never ever been a friend
Now we're closer to the
end
Oh oh oh no
Oh oh oh no.
We've
been walking far too long this icy road
My broken heart is colder
than a stone
I know you've never ever been a friend
Now
you've pushed me to the end
Oh
oh oh no
Oh oh oh no.
9.
SO MUCH LOVE
I
can't lie
I can't fake
I can't act
My hands shake
There's
disclosure
I must make
There is so much love in me
I
can't run
I have tried
There's a thorn
In my
side
There is something
I can't hide
There is so much love
in me
You
can forsake me
Try to break me
But you can't shake me
No
You
can despise me
Demonise me
It satisfies me
So
There's
a fire
In my veins
The desire
Causes pain
I will
say it
Again
There is so much love in me
You
can forsake me
Try to break me
But you can't shake me
No
You
can despise me
Demonise me
It satisfies me
So
There is so much love in me
10.
POORMAN
Hey,
there's no news
Poor man still got the blues
He's walking
'round in worn out shoes
With nothing to lose
Hey,
he's on the road
Pushing along his heavy load
Heading for no
fixed abode
Shuffling slow
Corporations
get the breaks
Keeping almost everything they make
Tell us just
how long it's going to take
For it to trickle down
When will it
trickle down
Hey,
he's on the street
Laying in the snow and sleet
Begging for
something to eat
And looking beat
Hey,
passers-by
They don't care to catch his eye
Couldn't even tell
you why
Or what's happening inside
Corporations
get the breaks
Keeping almost everything they make
Tell us just
how long it's going to take
For it to trickle down
When will it
trickle down
11.
NO MORE (THIS IS THE LAST TIME)
One
more ride
I can't explain
Our hesitation
We stop and start
again
Repeat the process we repeat the lie
Time and time
again
By and by.
This
is the last time
I'll say goodbye
The last time
Then we
won't have to lie
The last time
Call it what you want
You
don't mean a thing to me no more.
You
go your way
I'll go mine
We've walked this line together
For
the longest time
We've climbed the mountain
In so many
ways
Reach the top
Then slowly fade away
This
is the last time
I'll say goodbye
The last time
Then we
won't have to lie
The last time
Call it what you want
You
don't mean a thing to me no more.
Our
crimes
Will pass us by
Crimes
They all fade and die
All
those memories
All our pain
Will slowly disappear
Like
the falling rain.
This
is the last time
I'll say goodbye
The last time
Then we
won't have to lie
The last time
Well this is the last
time
The last time.
12.
FAIL
People
Do
we call this trying
We're hopeless
Forget the denying
Our
souls are corrupt
Our minds are messed up
Our consciences
bankrupt
Oh, we're fucked
People
What
are we thinking
It's shameful
Our standards are sinking
We're
barely hanging on
Our spirit has gone
And once where it shone
I
hear a lonesome song
People
How
are we coping
It's futile
To even start hoping
That justice
will prevail
That truth will tip the scales
Our dignity has
sailed
Oh, we've failed
