lyrics

Turn away from what feels real
Turn the lights off
Even when we see we don't believe

And take the country for a ride
An economic suicide
Making decisions and the people shout
They burn your cities with their cameras out
And keep a check on your desires
They will lead you to the fire
Send your children to a green hat house
They get beaten till the lights go out

And it's all desperate living
And we are all desperate living

We burned this house together
Watch it all burn away, it's okay
Too late to operate
Our necks will dislocate
Maybe this noose is our fate

And there's London calling, funding's stalling
And America's bawling, country's falling
A political idiocracy
There's no such thing as a democracy
And all the people on a weekend bender
Are concerned with not assuming gender
And when your kids start crawling, apps installing
And calamity's falling, must get out

And it's all desperate living
And we are all desperate living
And it's all desperate living
And we are all desperate living

No need to talk about it
No way we get out of it
No chance in hell before ya
It's okay to just ignore it
Just spend your life in hiding
The system won't come to get ya
Just waste your life away and then you'll realize it's just a game
