Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came out feet first and dancing
Pause for the round of applause
I came up grasping for greatness
A coffin in search of the corpse
[Verse 2]
A bad joke, but they keep on laughing
A bad story to tell
A bad lie, but the suit's okay
A bad debt, but they sure won't pay it
[Verse 3]
So do what I say
Not what I do
Blood on their hands
Does not run blue
[Verse 4]
Wake up, the hammers are humming
The snails are out salting the earth
Get out, where's everyone going?
This ship isn't sinking itself
[Verse 5]
A bad song, but they keep on dancing
A bad story to tell
A bad lie, but the suit's okay
A headline? Well, they sure won't say it
[Verse 6]
So do what I say
Not what I do
Blood on their hands
Does not run blue
[Verse 7]
Economists with bedside manners
Tax return pop, killer batches
Chipping Norton, doors on latches
Five-bed flat, pack Neo-Fascist
Kitchen surface, polished granite
The market's up in sunny Thanet
Incorporating calisthenics
Cottagecore and market ethics
That "Soho House Alt-Right Aesthetic" is taking over
[Verse 8]
'Cause this is God's own country
But I'm my own man
So if God don't want me?
Then God don't want me
I bet they hope those feet
In ancient times
Just kept on walking
