It was the mother of all bombs, and he dropped it on his mother
Now you're surprised that he's an angry motherfucker
It was a war manufactured by the arms manufacturers
Normalising terror and terrorising everyone
Except your local MP who lives elsewhere
While making big decisions on your welfare
And he'll quite happily watch you burn
From a nuclear bunker underground
Because now the rich are really rich
But they could always be a little bit richer
So divide and conquer
Cut another corner
Ignore another safety check
And lay some people off
This is the house that austerity built
And now we're ripping up the rule book on human rights
Nobody lift a finger, let alone put up a fight
We just bitch, piss and moan about political correctness
Have another vote about whose side of the fence it is
Crash, bang, wallop, pass another parcel
Leave another union, form another government
Make sure the public are constantly confused
Cling to the power, whatever the cost
But we can hear the nurses screaming
We can see the firemen crying
And we can hear you laughing when you're freezing their pay
We're not gonna let that happen again
Let's talk about justice and judgemental truths
Hopelessly hoping and ignoring the proof
It's the constant sound of the old men bickering
Brave faces buried in the shit that they're shovelling
It's act now or we might as well forget it
Don't have to break an egg if you don't wanna eat an omelette
Make sure the public are fully aware
Face the facts, confront our fears
'Cause we can see the future screaming
We can see the children crying
And nobody knows how it ended this way
But everybody's gotta take their share of the blame
Good morning, baby
Are you awake?
I'm not sure how to tell you, but there's been another attack
Some more mindless violence and death of innocents
Each time it feels like it gets a little bit worse
How can it be normal?
Another country is in mourning
Or maybe the world is broken
Hearts and promises split wide open
Hopes and dreams blown into pieces
How can anybody justify this?
We need to see the tables turning
Lots of dots need joining
But we shouldn't stop until everyone's safe
And if we're selling arms to Saudi Arabia
Maybe that's the first thing that we should change
Now you're surprised that he's an angry motherfucker
It was a war manufactured by the arms manufacturers
Normalising terror and terrorising everyone
Except your local MP who lives elsewhere
While making big decisions on your welfare
And he'll quite happily watch you burn
From a nuclear bunker underground
Because now the rich are really rich
But they could always be a little bit richer
So divide and conquer
Cut another corner
Ignore another safety check
And lay some people off
This is the house that austerity built
And now we're ripping up the rule book on human rights
Nobody lift a finger, let alone put up a fight
We just bitch, piss and moan about political correctness
Have another vote about whose side of the fence it is
Crash, bang, wallop, pass another parcel
Leave another union, form another government
Make sure the public are constantly confused
