lyrics

Trust your television screen! It disregards transparency, the pictures dancing to the score of the yellow, black and green. Here’s a drink to outlast bigotry and abandon your sobriety. Their favourite part of being “free” is owning you and me. The room encores for “democratic, with a twist!” The breadline, for the first time, is within reach. A hammer and a sickle, a machete and a kiss. Your X right here for late RDP’s and Viva la Illiteracy!

Sing a song for a king that you’ll never meet, on his anodyne of alcohol and retail therapy. Comrades we will be. Sing a song for an age that you’ll never see, I’ll sing for you and you for me. Sheep we’ll always be – c’est la vie.

Economy! Economy! Border control? Security? If the neighbours wear their welcome out, it’s xenophobic you and me. Just one big happy family – our boisterous sibling rivalry need not reach the evening news nor acquire notoriety. But where’s Reggie now? Now, when regicide’s the key to a 6-feet under autocrat who rufied liberty? An electorate all-for policies of apathy. Your X right here for the colour Red and the way things weren’t supposed to be.

Sing a song for a king that you’ll never meet, on his anodyne of alcohol and retail therapy. Comrades we will be. Sing a song for an age that you’ll never see, I’ll sing for you and you for me. Sheep we’ll always be - c'est la vie.
