A Westerner Walks Into a Bar

A Westerner walks into a bar

Television on the Middle East corner

Talk to the barman a bit about cars

A bit about war, and a bit about Captain America

'Bout 50 thousand dead

What a tragic tale, what a moral dilemma

What can we do to help?

Say it again, and again, and again, until you've entertained yourself

Said "Mmm, uh, if I'm being honest

Never heard of your country, until we bombed it"

There's an invisible gun in my pocket

Pays for a round of shots, and a gossip

And a pissed up thought in the water closet

Don't use soap, no tap, don't wash it, uh

Unspoken law of the land

It's fashionable to have blood on your hands

Then you start getting racist

Talk about refugees getting payslips

50 pounds a week for needs is outrageous

You spend nearly a ton on a night getting wasted

Reform UKKK

Let's make Britain great again

Fingers click, and a monthly wage

Is a thousand Stellas, and a Lebanese takeaway

I put my faith in God

And a rich man's bank account

TV says, "Few million displaced"

I say, "Fucking keep 'em out"

When a Westerner walks into a bar

Television on the Middle East corner

Talk to the barman a bit about cars

A bit about war, and a bit about Captain America

'Bout 50 thousand dead

What a tragic tale, what a moral dilemma

What can we do to help?

Say it again and again and again until you've entertained yourself

He said, "Mmm, uh, if I'm being serious

This service is shit, and I don't think you're hearing this"

The news is depressing

Can someone turn it off?

I don't wanna be dancing when another bomb drops

Another shot, and cheap beer, and cheap talk

On international relations, and the state of the war

State of the nation

State of the rich and the poor

State of the who gives two shits 'bout some war?

I've been waiting 30 minutes, and I haven't had another drink yet

Is the country in the sink yet?

Is the threat of nuclear action on the brink yet?

I will blow your mind when I get the time to think

Says "oh, the horror"

I wish I could change it

If I don't get served in five minutes, I'm complaining

Now, I'm getting kicked out

Now, I've got a bottle

I might wrap it up with somebody's head down the cobbles

When a Westerner walks into a bar

Television on the Middle East corner

Talk to the barman a bit about cars

A bit about war, and a bit about Captain America

'Bout 50 thousand dead

What a tragic tale, what a moral dilemma

"What can We do to help?"

Say it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and ah
