Some days I lie in bed and think
Of all the things I hate
All the nuances of life
In this Britain that is is great
We've got a government of imbeciles
All led by Mr B
With his goofy smile and yellow hair
But no understanding of democracy
We've got kids younger than teenagers
Taking knives to school
I'm pretty sure, last time I checked
That stabbings, they're not cool
There's technology all around us
Designed to listen in
I'm pretty sure that MI6
Can tell me what colour socks I'm in
And there's not much I like
In this modern world no more
But if we all stand strong together
We can show them less is more
Throw away your mobiles
And burn your fancy cars
Strike up a conversation
With a stranger in a bar
Oh come on now
Turn the power
Off and on again
Today I read the paper
And I really wish I'd not
It's all death and war, and Chinese flu
And which celebrities are hot
I'm pretty sure the white House
Got mistaken for a crèche
Someone drove up to the door
Dropped off little Donald and then left
And we know it can't be long now
Till he spots that little button
And blows the whole damn world apart
Because his Twitters not responding
And there's not much I like
In this modern world no more
But if we all stand strong together
We can show them less is more
Throw away your mobiles
And burn your fancy cars
Strike up a conversation
With a stranger in a bar
Oh come on now
Turn the power
Off and on again
Look towards the middle East
To countries like iran
We'll assassinate their leaders
Just because we can
And America will go to war
With us there by their side
And our children all will learn to count
By how many soldiers die
And there's not much I like
In this modern world no more
But if we all stand strong together
We can show them less is more
Throw away your mobiles
And burn your fancy cars
Strike up a conversation
With a stranger in a bar
Oh come on now
Turn the power
Off and on again
And there's not much I like
In this modern world no more
But if we all stand strong together
We can show them less is more
Throw away your mobiles
And burn your fancy cars
Strike up a conversation
With a stranger in a bar
Oh come on now
Turn the power
Off and on again
