The Jam

The Jam were an English punk rock/New Wave/mod revival band active during the late 1970s and early 1980s. They were formed in Woking, Surrey. While they shared the "angry young men" outlook and fast tempos of their punk rock contemporaries, The Jam wore smartly tailored suits rather than ripped clothes, and they incorporated a number of mainstream 1960s rock and R&B influences rather than rejecting them, placing The Jam at the forefront of the mod revival movement. more »

Your twisted cynicism - makes me feel sick 
Your open disgust for 'idealistic naive'
You've given up hope you're jaded and ill
The trouble is your thoughts a catching disease
Ooh - you need to get away 
Ooh - you need a change of pace 
Because you're all dried up and you don't believe
You reckon I'm dreaming when I say I still feel real
You say you work for yourself and its the only way
But I look at you talking and to me you just scrape away 
What makes once young minds get in this state,
Is it age or just the social climate
You're talking like some fucking hardened MP
You're saying power's all!
And it's power you need!
Ooh - you need to get away 
Ooh - you need a change of place 
Because you've given up on hope 
You're emotionless 
You've no need for love it's just hate, hate, hate.
But I look at you shaking and it is you 
Who is scraping away
You who is scraping away.
