NO FUN AT ALL

- Shot By Both Sides Lyrics

<i>[Originally by Magazine]</i>

This and that they must be the same
Why it's legal when it's just what's real
What I'm given to understand
Is exactly what I steal
I warmed my way into the heart of the crowd <i>[x2]
I was shocked to find what was allowed
I didn't lose myself in the crowd

Shot, shot
By both sides
On the run
To the outside of everything
Shot, shot
By both sides
They must have come
To a secret understanding

New offenses always in my nerves
They've taken my time by force
They have to write all the books again
As a matter of course
I warmed my way into the heart of the crowd <i>[x2]
I was shocked to find what was allowed
I didn't lose myself in the crowd

Shot, shot
By both sides
On the run
To the outside of everything
Shot, shot
By both sides
They must have come
To a secret understanding

Why is someone with you kid?
After man with the voice
One thing fouls another
We'll ever learn you have no choice
I warmed my way into the heart of the crowd <i>[x2]
I was shocked to find what was allowed
I didn't lose myself in the crowd
(Crowd) <i>[x8]
Didn't lose myself in the crowd <i>[x2]
(Crowd) <i>[x8]
I was shocked to find what was allowed
(Crowd) <i>[x4]
Didn't lose myself in the crowd
(Crowd) <i>[x4]
But I'm on my way <i>[x7]
But I'm on my way, shot, shot
By both sides
And the last
Is doing the shooting
Shot, shot
By both sides
We must have come
To a secret understanding
