Stiff Little Fingers one man island

Select language to translate this lyric

It's getting so you can't trust no one
It's getting so you can't even trust yourself
Each morning there's a brand new villain
Each newspaper a brand new boogeyman
But we believe
And we're deceived
And I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can
And I can't live my life as a one man island
It's better if we all stay frightened
It's better if our heads stay in the sand
But I recognize irrational hatred
And I recognize a fear of my fellow man
And it's the truth
And we're all fools
And I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can
And I can't live my life as a one man island
No I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can
And I can't live my life as a one man island
I won't be a
A one man island
I can't be a
A one man island
You can't be one too
Oh you know it's true
TV's bluster and there's moral outrage
Someone gets richer someone else ends up in a cage
Yet it strikes me that the whole thing gets worse
Yeah it seems to me positions should be changed
No end of crying
Will stop these liars
And I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can
And I can't live my life as a one man island
No I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can
And I can't live my life as a one man island
No I won't hate somebody cos you say that I can
And I can't live my life a a one man island
