Watching BBC Parliament during the night of 11th March 2019

lyrics

Here it comes

Where would we be
without the bits of paper
telling us it's alright ?
Where would we be
without more laws,
more paperwork ?
Lawyers not getting richer,
Oh what a terrible world.

Can't you do anything ?
No, not without the dots
and the crosses.

Alright, why do we all fight ?
There must be some light
at the end of the tunnel.

Life-like light
coming down the line
we've all gotta hope
we've all gotta be
blinded by nonsensical ego bullshit.

Why don't you do the thing ?
Oh, we're not allowed to do it like that, no,
we have to do it like this
we have to acquiesse
and you will be told
we have to acquiesse
you will be told
you have to acquiesse
you will be
told.

...........

Incompetent governments.
Incompetent everything.
Whatever.
Whatever next ?
On and on and on
and on and on and on.

Fight for the right
Stand for the right
Doing alright
Don't fuck it up again, right ?!
Stand for the right.
Don't fuck it up, alright !
Don't keep dragging it out
on your ego.
Get on with it assholes.
Get on with it.

There must be a better way than this.
No, no, blow it alright (oh yeah) into the night
Dragging up every stupid thing
every government in succession.
Another law,
another thing to bind everyone
in endless paperwork.
Where would we be
without all the dotted, crossed lines ?

...........

Are they up all night
in the house of commons ?
Oh, can we get it all right ?
Can we make it alright now ?

Watch the sky, in the air,
wait for it all to fall around our ears,
can't make up our minds
always gotta be blinded
by nonsense of egos.

Big egos, massaged.
From a little girl,
little proud boy
grow up
to know your birthright.
You're one of the elite.
You can do what you want
bring it all around everybody's feet
because you do
what your mammy and daddy
wanted you to do.
Screw everyone who gets in the way
not just today
for all time.

Mess it up, acquiesse and tell us
nothing, except to go along with it
Well, why don't you go along
with what you're being told here.
(Don't I have the right job title for you to arselick ?)

"We're trying to break free
and what do you do ?

You go over there and bow your head
after telling everyone here
what must be done."
