Lyrics
Hailing from the depths of somewhere past Where time stood still and the sun sets fast And folks drink til they've drunk their last drop So they can forget truth starts and farce stops And when the cards flop out on the table Lessons digest like an Aesop fable While many digress and others enable Leaders sell out like a sweet shops staple Hooked on the sugar slave to the nicotine Peoples ideas of success is all limousines and diamonds Everyday there's new violence Dodge the sickle gene die by the siren Catch the guillotine for breaking the silence Live by the knife and fall to the social climbers Who gives a crap about the climate Cos we'll be long gone before we see the tide rise up So dry your eyes don't cry for the amazon Forget the rainforest save yourself the embarrassment Forget the oceans you won't save the planet son You don't have the pallet to handle the damage done Best to stick to middle management Keep the thoughts to a minimum and actions inanimate And don't play the devil's advocate Unless you want to be caged like all the animals I remember dark days now man are blase It was who aren't from the manor aren't safe Now it's Peckham arcade and Matcha Lattes mate One day I'll leave this planet can't wait Til then stuck listening to rock and a hard place There's too many losses I can't take My breaks like watching a car chase My arms raised it faces my aunt May She said when you gonna find a viable career I said I'm here I already hired all the gear I already spent many nights fighting all the fear I thought let me write you were biting off your peers More than you can chew boring as the blues Poor like beggars you're ignoring on the tubes Cos you think they're all addicts cos you saw it on the news But reporters on the shrooms so it's awkward in the room Like about to be dad talking to the womb It's awkward to assume I'm doom and gloom Used to watch the Loony Toons now I notice all the racism How soon he grew While it permeates society and through these youths So they're taking lives cos it's like who needs you? And I know that hate divides but I ain't paying mind Cos I got bills and doing what's right ain't paying mine Fine guess I need to stay in line
