Nova - Status Quo Lyrics




The status quo offends my intellect
The pace is slow and dead like a fickle friend
The price of bones, when in debt to them
Will have you pay foes, no respect to them
Expect to blend in if you ain't got the cash
The feds step in if you don't pay the tax
Fill the pockets of the man
Fending with work and pensions cause the government don't know direction
West is best they won't let you forget
In the West End with the Rolls and the Benz
They pretend what you're worth is what you spend
We got locked in a pen on the internet, oh
Dollars, pounds, diamonds, gold
You only get as far as what you sold
(Far as what you sold)
Euros and cents, sense of self is your next best friend
When we got hounds in the Parliament
Woof woof, it's the sound of the freaks
Outcast die hard and try hard to succeed
Over in the East in the belly of beast
All the mandem smoke cheese
And they're all straight geezers
Freewheelers, beefers
When life gives you lemons gotta squeeze 'em
(Squeeze 'em)
Every tribe has a chief
Every gang has a thief
Every lamb has a bleat
Every lion to feast
No face no case, get cake with a cliche mate
You're still a slave to every day
Scales weigh, bags pay, stacks made, Gucci, Louis
You only wake to take the bait

The status quo
(Status quo)
The face of woe
(Face of woe)
Let's patent both
(Patent both)
And make some dough
(Make some dough)
Encouraged to break every moral code
Don't let it take away from the monarch's load
Play the cards you were dealt, ain't allowed to fold
While the queen at the heart of it decays like mould

Madonnas and whores
The saints and the sinners
You can't be both
Either way you're not a winner
Suck a dick or make a dinner
How much quicker can you slim down?
Bitches bitter only one crown
One spot at the top, pop off if you're hot
If you're not all you got is a crockpot
Been the same for a while
You get more bees with honey
If you're serving with a smile
Light skin but you got a heavy chip on your shoulder
You don't know more than me just 'cause your older
Flames smoulder of the bridge that you burnt
Thought you hate racists how the tables have turned
Let's keep black with black and white with white
Left with left and right with right
Fire with fire, whole world blind
An eye for an eye but your beef ain't mine

The status quo
(Status quo)
The face of woe
(Face of woe)
Let's patent both
(Patent both)
And make some dough
(Make some dough)
Encouraged to break every moral code
Don't let it take away from the monarch's load
Play the cards you were dealt, ain't allowed to fold
While the queen at the heart of it decays like mould

The ninety nine versus the one percent
We got a clown Prime Minister and a sham President
Let 'em set the precedent, neglect is so eloquent
The spread of the virus they couldn't prevent
Fending with work and pensions
F*ck that, all we got is hurt and tension and murky intentions
Curbing our spending, we got no earnings
The whole f*cking world is burning
Before our eyes, a mask ain't a disguise
'No face no case' has changed to saving lives
A handshake is fatal, we afraid to die?
It was only a fable now it's fate real life
The risk of contagion shifts the paradigm
Flipping the script to survive nine times in a quarantine
Dipping into reserves, end of days not the purge
Pray my chest don't hurt by the end of the verse
What we do to deserve this curse Nurse?
If my chest do hurt don't bring me home in a hurse plurz
If my chest gotta hurt gotta make it heartbreak and not a father late
If I lose someone then my chest will burst, beg you bury me first

The status quo
The face of woe
Let's patent both
And make some dough
Encouraged to break every moral code
Don't let it take away from the monarch's load
Play the cards you were dealt, ain't allowed to fold
While the queen at the heart of it decays like mould
The status quo
(Status quo)
The face of woe
(Face of woe)
Let's patent both
(Patent both)
And make some dough
(Make some dough)
Encouraged to break every moral code
Don't let it take away from the monarch's load
Play the cards you were dealt, ain't allowed to fold
While the queen at the heart of it decays like mould
