We're all passengers On this lonely ride No one's ever gonna get out of here alive We were sold a dream And we walked in blind Now we're waiting for the God damn surprise
You only care about who controls the markets Leave the man all alone in the lurch yeah Pedal lies to win a vote to prove your point You don't have a clue what to do now you've got there
'Cause you're all real life fraudsters Dressed in pearls and penguin suits
Alright, when you take over our towns Alright, burn our hopes to the ground In a hundred years you seem to have come nowhere And everyone can see you got your head's stuck in the ground
We're in an age where a tee can cause offence And where a man brags about his button yeah We're all the people who are forced to watch the nonsense Elected men comparing sizes of their God damn weapons
We've seen lives that have been lost to nowhere Bearing arms resulting in your social prayers Fake news that turns into your gospel Building walls won't ever solve your problems
'Cause you're a real life gangster Wrapped in stars and coloured stripes
Alright, when you take over our towns Alright, burn our hopes to the ground In a hundred years you seem to have come nowhere And everyone can see you got your head's stuck in the ground
Alright, when your picking your fights Alright, sending tweets over night In a hundred years you've seem to have come nowhere And everyone can see you got your head's still stuck in the ground
