Letra da Música Risk to Exist de Maxïmo Park

Ever felt like you're going nowhere
and you need a little help
I felt the same way in my life
that's when your friends
improve the hand you're dealt
Now if we extend the situation
To a broad one instead of the self
How can we not extend a hand
into the perilous waters of hell

Throw your arms around me
Before the waves all swallow me
I cannot breathe
Put your arms around me
I've come too far and the ocean's deep
Where's your empathy

Now I'm no expert
but a cursory reading of the facts
say you reap what you sow
And the expert colonises we begin
caused enough hurt to eat up the soul
And if we're proud of the things we have
shouldn't others want to share as well
Now the regimes that we propped up
have descended into a living hell

Throw your arms around me
Before the waves all swallow me
I cannot breathe
Put your arms around me
I've come too far and the ocean's deep
Show some empathy

It's a risk just to exist
As we immerge in to the light
It's a risk just to exist
I'm so glad to be alive

The talk shows talk
And nothing gets done
Who wants to be responsible
for Europe's biggest son
Show some responsibility
Show some responsibility

Throw your arms around me
Before the waves all swallow me
I cannot breathe
Put your arms around me
I've come too far and the ocean's deep
Show some empathy
It's a risk just to exist
As we immerge in to the light
It's a risk just to exist
I'm so glad to be alive
Oh it's a risk just to exist
As we immerge in to the light
Oh it's a risk just to exist
I'm so glad to be alive
