It's about people resting on their laurels and letting the worst happen, but it's good to see a bit of protest kicking back!
lyrics
Oh it's been so long
We've been waiting for the day that we'd see them again
We'd fallen down on
Our first-world problems, home loans and fancy cars
It's like they'd given up
It's like I'd given up
It's like we all could send a tweet, but couldn't give a fuck
And now our just desserts
Are being fed to us
It doesn’t taste good so demand to see the manager!
When the walls come crashing down
Will our old morals be found?
End your endless summer
Start your winter of discontent
We thought we were so strong
Retreated to our lounges and kicked back
Now we're dealing with morons!
Corruption, sedition, subversion of just rules
We didn’t seize the chance
I didn't seize the chance
We could have influenced and forced some real change of hearts
And now we reap what we sow
It's time to turn the farrow
Follow the protest, raise your voice and hold them all accountable
When the walls come crashing down
Will our old morals be found?
End your endless summer
Start your winter of discontent
We haven’t blown it all
We’ve gotta stand up tall
It’s time for fighting 'til the scumbags all start to fall
