Sandstörm - Taking Exception Lyrics

I look back now ‘cross half my life
And think of all the good advice
And know that now with perfect choice
We need to drown out all the noise
From teachers here and parents there
Our profile’s made our cross to bear
Yes, we will lead and sometimes fall
And yet we’ll notice, not at all
You see we’re rare, we never crawl
We’re ones that stand like poppy, tall
Creative flair and a drive to change
The way that life’s been arranged
So now we have got your attention
We’re taking exception to the state of the nation
No passive aggression
No hostile rejection
No more novel inventions
We’re taking exception!
World’s in trouble, you’ve heard her shout
We’re needed now and there’s no doubt
Stop greenhouse gas, don’t need the fumes
It will be hard, please don’t assume
Together now the path is clear
So we can all breathe fresh clean air
Cut carbon out, make nature prime
We’ll save the world for mankind
So now we have got your attention
We’re taking exception to the state of the nation
No passive aggression
No hostile rejection
No more novel inventions
We’re taking exception!
To fix the things that rule your life
make it safe, help kids thrive
We’re waiting here, odd ones out
Rethinking the world
Inside and out!
So now we have got your attention
We’re taking exception to the state of the nation
No passive aggression
No hostile rejection
No more novel inventions
We’re taking exception!
So now we have got your attention
We’re taking exception to the state of the nation
No passive aggression
No hostile rejection
No more novel inventions
We’re taking exception now!

I look back now ‘cross half my life
And think of all the good advice
And know that now with perfect choice
We need to drown out all the noise
From teachers here and parents there
Our profile’s made our cross to bear
Yes, we will lead and sometimes fall
And yet we’ll notice, not at all
You see we’re rare, we never crawl
We’re ones that stand like poppy, tall
Creative flair and a drive to change
The way that life’s been arranged
So now we have got your attention
We’re taking exception to the state of the nation
No passive aggression
No hostile rejection
No more novel inventions
We’re taking exception!
World’s in trouble, you’ve heard her shout
We’re needed now and there’s no doubt
Stop greenhouse gas, don’t need the fumes
