Maxïmo Park - The Reason I Am Here Lyrics

We will have to make a journey
Through the eyes of idiots
Where every problem in the country
Is blamed upon the immigrants

Not exactly high society
Neither tact nor sobriety

The people who never doubt
Are the ones I'm worried about
The people who never doubt
Are the ones who carry the clout

Not exactly high society
Neither tact nor sobriety
There they behave how they like
Whereas I look for balance to strike

Let's seize the day, we'll generate antipathy
Obsessing over history
I try to lead but something keeps on stopping me
I think it might be my dignity

Stay home with me
You are the reason I am here
Stay home with me
You are the reason I am here

Now is the time
For opening your mind
Now is the time
For opening your mind

Let's seize the day, we'll generate antipathy
Obsessing over history
I try to lead but something keeps on stopping me
I think it might be my dignity

Stay home with me
You are the reason I am here
Don't deny your pride
There's nothing wrong with difference
It's better than maleficence
Stay home with me
You are the reason I am here
Stay home with me
