(verse)

We were told to live like this and not to live like that.


we were told to take our meds or else we might run out of luck.


(verse)

I'm fighting to grow old and trying to keep my head up.


With closed eyes i watch my life unfold as i'm embracing this cold.


(chorus)

This operation is a fabrication and they call it living.


This operation is a fabrication and i'm thinking of a way to escape civvy street.


This operation is a fabrication but this isn't living.

(verse)


I patiently wait as another month goes by. I want to trust again but i picture what i have lost.


I'm picking up injuries when i thought i could never break but only time could decide that fate.

(chorus)


This operation is a fabrication and they call it living.


This operation is a fabrication and i'm thinking of a way to escape civvy street.

This operation is a fabrication but this isn't living.


(verse)


I let my heart run away again and found out that it could fold more than once.

It's just a fault in this flawed and bevelled system.


(chrous)


This operation is a fabrication and they call it living.

This operation is a fabrication and i'm thinking of a way to escape civvy street.


This operation is a fabrication but this isn't living.


(outro)

My friends keep me winning


And i'll keep on spinning, spinning, spinning.


And we'll be winning, winning, winning, winning.

And i'll find a new way of living, living, living.
