I'm not feeling quite myself, something's gone outta sync There's a cog inside my head, needs relocating and slotting in It all looks a little strange like I been here before But things are not in place, somebody moved the door Who is this man in front of me, stained with nicotine He claims he's my superior and it's 1973 Whose own way of policing ain't doing it by the book Settling most endeavours with a healthy right hook For him the word compassion's not in his vocabulary Trying it got me back “don't go all Dorothy on me”
Chorus Wake, wake up To another day with the Sheriff trying to show me the way Come on now wake, wake up Wake up and smell the cocoa, I'm still here I guess I ain't going home today... Speeding round the streets, heavy on the brakes Taking bribes, planting evidence to clear the scum away Bets on a Party 7, fighting for my pride The only way to show him that I'm right this time Done and dusted by teatime, his gut paving the way Another off the streets, another collar put away Chorus x 2 Today, not today, I ain't going home today Today, not today, I ain't going home today
