Still Burning

Still Burning - Stiff Little Fingers

Now i'm a little bit older

I'm expected to accept all the things that I can't change

I'm supposed to stand aside

While the fairness you can't hide is paraded before my face

I won't acquiesce take second best I'm never satisfied

Cos there's a fire inside won't be denied

And i'm still burning see

You'll never put the spark out in my soul

Still burning and injustice builds

A bonfire in my core

Still burning

If i turn my back on all the honesty you lack

Would that make me more mature

By pretending to be blind

And accepting all your lies

I'd be giving in for sure

I won't acquiesce or take second best

I'm never satisfied cos

There's a fire inside won't be denied

And i'm still burning

You'll never put the spark out in my soul

Still burning and injustice

Build a bonfire at my core

Still burning

Still fire

Still burning

You'll never put the spark out in my soul

Never never never

Never never

Still burning and injustice builds a bonfire in my core

Still burning

Still burning

We like to think we live in a fair & justice society

Yet we can still lock a man away for 19 years

Having denied him the use of witness statements

That might have cleared his name

And we call that justice

Not in my eyes
