lyrics

Well, I got a pound in my pocket and
I don't think I'll be seeing you no more

You got your own website
But you don't remember how to develop it
You got your own internet
I am not online

Cardboard clogs the arteries
Drainpipes overflowing, leaking
Nothing could be more revealing
How you say you care about this place

And I will not calm down, no you calm down
And get your hands off my country
Just hurry up and die
Hurry up and die, 'cause we are the future
Hurry up and die

We are the future
Everyone is welcome here
Except for you
And we won't allow it
To tolerate the intolerant is to tolerate intolerance

All that remains of a beautiful friendship
Spent magazines lie and cover the floor
One single page face up says something incongruous
But that's enough to open the gates
Most brains have pathways but this one's a highway
And it doesn't lead to anywhere good

A simple little sound
A noise to remind you that you should be asleep
A shiny sound, a gentle sound, with the edge of a rusty knife

The union jack hangs in tatters on a tree
It knows its place
The only place it belongs
Everybody's leaving now
And who can blame them
Everybody's leaving

Everyone's identical
But things are different now old man
Production line people
But we will not produce for you
Your world isn't built for us
We'll build a better world without you

pona li pona tawa nasin sewi ali
mi moku pi seli nasa
mi lon tomo pi jan pona
ali pakala la, pona li wan
tenpo pona la, jan ali li sama

No good coward walks away from a fight
