lyrics

the world is a scary place
with tyrants and bomber planes
american peace brigade with a smile on their face
coming to take your kids away
downpours of metal rain
another town in flames
media flashstorm then the 6 'o' clock news
4,000 people dead today

// Chorus //
democracy and freedom are spread all around
but I'd rather watch the bourgeoise drown
I will not bow kneel or submit to your crown
I think It's time we burnt these gilded halls down

election day's come round' again
but the options haven't changed
there's still a fucking bunch of cunts stood on the stage
they're only in it for the money
for their own handsome wage
he claims to be on our side but we're not on the same page

// Chorus //
democracy and freedom are spread all around
but I'd rather watch the bourgeoise drown
I will not bow kneel or submit to your crown
I think It's time we burnt these gilded halls down

I haven't been out for days
scrolling from page to page
every light flicker's another step closer
into the void where the world burns all over
into distraction to hide from disaster
but if we all do that we'll bury ourselves faster
so go for a walk beneath unreal sky
remind yourself why you don't want to die

// Bridge //
the world is a scary place
destruction down every vein
do I see a light at the end of the tunnel
or were we already dead yesterday

// Chorus //
democracy and freedom are spread all around
but I'd rather watch the bourgeoise drown
I will not bow kneel or submit to your crown
I think It's time we burnt these gilded halls down

we're searching for better ways
whilst suffering through our decay
mostly consumed by mindless consumption
down with this slow apathetic destruction
fight for tomorrow today
turn a new fucking page
break these chains
make this change
put the fucking rich on the dinner plate.
