benefits – empire كلمات اغاني
he sits around all day watching videos of blokes hitting each other on the internet. he likes it. so he presses a b_tton on his phone. it’s a little heart. it’s acknowledgement. it makes him feel good, and that’s fine, so it should. he’s my mate, that’s great. he changes the picture in his profile every now and then: queens birthday, come on england. no fuss, no problem. he acknowledges applause for politicians on doorsteps for kicking other people off othеr peoples doorsteps, and i wincе. he applauds. he red raw applauds. he says we are the empire, and god will save us all, in the empire
and you’re rubber necking wreckage by the roadside, beeps and swearing silence the sirens, get a f_cking move on, things to f_cking do, got my work to get to, so f_ck you and f_ck them too. and you’re working out who done what, then they scr_pe em up and the traffic flows, the feeling goes. weeks later there’s roadside flowers, and your gut takes a hit, until a f_cking little sh_t cuts you up at the roundabout, makes you late for work by a little bit
and you shout. and you shout. and i shout. i shout
i shout because it’s all i’ve got left. i shout because i’m tired of this sh_t. this lack of compassion. governmental hypocrite. their actions need a reaction and for me this is it. in the empire
empire
we live on an island full of poppies and crosses, union jack carrots, flagpoles in the sand, rewritten history, industrial wastelands. the pubs back open so no one cares, as the camera pans to billionaires, high fiving in the crowd, loud and proud. the streets are decorated like ve f_cking day
but migrant kids are too scared to go out and play, as i stand back and watch everyone else fight. just don’t tell me my f_cking rights. just remember my former imperial might. god save the f_cking queen and hold my pint. in the empire
empire
but we didn’t level up, we levelled through, still the rich get richer so you’re f_cked again too. and a new hope, a new haircut, a new f_ck all, won’t tear down imagined blue or red walls. because we are the empire! either death throes or a swan song, but where oh where oh where did it go wrong? so blame the young, blame the old, blame foreigners, equality, decency, labour, blame tories, blame monarchy, blame history, the lot. just start by saying you’re sorry for every f_cking thing you’ve got, in the empire
