Ripcord - Radiohead
Album: Pablo Honey
genre: Alternative Rock Grunge
Soul destroyed with clever toys for little boys
It’s inevitable, inevitable, it’s a soul destroyed
You’re free until you drop
You’re free until you’ve had enough
But you don’t understand
You’ve no ripcord
No ripcord, no ripcord, no ripcord
Aeroplane
Do I mean what I mean?
It’s inevitable, inevitable, oh aeroplane
A thousand miles an hour
And politics in power
That you don’t understand
You’ve no ripcord
No ripcord, no ripcord, no ripcord
The answer to your prayers
We’ll drop you anywhere
With no ripcord
No ripcord, no ripcord, no ripcord
