Token Political Song

from Time To Pack Up by Hummer

lyrics

Read about it in the headlines every day (I can’t believe this),
It’s too late; they’ve fucked us over, there’s no other way,
I see a look of insincerity and arrogance (I can’t believe that),
Then I’ll watch the news each night with pure indifference...

See the explosion from afar, while thinking “how much longer?”
Think to yourself, if looks could kill, could blindness make you stronger?
So now you’ll sit and see, drown in your apathy,
And when it all blows up you’ll swear you never...

52% put down to fear and lies (I can’t believe this),
Creating chaos and confusion for a “simpler time”
Everyone claims to have the answer “when it’s up to me” (I can’t believe that),
Then they’re distracted by “offensive” terminology...

See the explosion from afar, while thinking “how much longer?”
Think to yourself, if looks could kill, could blindness make you stronger?
So now you’ll claim you never knew that it was always down to you,
And when it all blew up you swear you never saw it coming!

Lies and misinformation leave us all tied-up in knots,
So while we fight against each other, someone else can call the shots...

Make it to the bar, but you missed last orders; black box found with a damaged recorder,
Never shut your eyes to the problems out ahead,
It’s a tailback, roadworks, missed the exit; civil disturbance, Pig-Gate, Brexit,
Maybe we’ll adapt and we’ll overcome instead, at least I like to think so,
Maybe we’ll adapt and we’ll overcome instead, at least I fucking hope so,
We’re gonna have to adapt, and we’ll overcome at some time...
