When This World Ends

When, when this world ends
I’ll be the one stood outside the front
Of your house
Asking, can you feel it?
Here at the edge of things
There’s no salvation on your screen
Tonight it’s just you and me
Just you and me
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na
Are we falling apart at the seams?
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na
To me it’s like we’re stuck
Did you hear the modern world has ended?
Not with a bang but with house arrest
Don’t forget the violence, the poverty, the bloodshed
But now it's time to do your best
Ain’t it strange now we can't breathe
We might have this chance to fix it all
If we do things right, just this time
We don’t have to go back to normal
If this is the end of our ride
Well i'm proud to be here by your side
Woahhhh
I’m scared!
Who’s scared!
We’re running out of time
Woahhh
So I cry
We cry!
We're running out of time
Woaaahhhh.
Take my hand, I’ll be your very last best friend
Coz my mate John
Said the world will end
So look up, look up, look up
Your world’s on fire
Just look up, look up, look up
Your world’s on fire
Wouldn't it be sick?
To not be a dick on a supermarket trip?
Wouldn’t it be so cool?
To make capitalism do the socialist shuffle
Wouldn’t it be so great?
If they didn’t line their pockets with the welfare state
Wouldn’t it be the one?
If we could heal together, when all is said and done
Woahhhh
I’m scared!
Who’s scared!
We’re running out of time
Woahhh.
So I cry
We cry!
We're running out of time
Woaaahhhh.
Take my hand, I’ll be your very last best friend
Coz my mate John
Said the world will end
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na
Is this falling apart at the seams?
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na
To me it’s like we’re stuck between dreams
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na
Are we falling apart at the seams?
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na
If we are, mine’s a gin.

State Of Emergency
03:00
|
|||
There is a riot on the streets and all I can see is disaster,
So run faster
They got heavies in a jeep
With their targets on the weak
They’re gunning for you and me
They breed like rats as the system fails
To eat your rights away
Our police state now, it's a living hell
There’s no place for you and me
In this a state of emergency
It’s a state of emergency
It’s a state of emergency
For you, and me
When bullshit rules
You can’t fight it with truth
Have they distracted us to forgetting
What about Grenfell?
The Panama Papers?
Why are British bombs destroying Yemen?
The high streets dead,
Yet no one speaks.
You’re all glued from screen to screen
When it’s your front door
They’re kicking for
Where’s your sense of community?
In this state of emergency
It’s a state of emergency
Let’s make them rue the day they thought they could finally come for you and me
In this state of emergency
There’s a virus on the streets.
But on T.V. there’s no answer
So run faster
The one percent got their tests
Fear’s left the rest a mess
The rich own your right to breathe
When they feast like pigs
Our democracy fails
They vote your rights away
So stand your ground
This time we won’t back down
In this state of emergency
It’s a state of emergency
It’s a state of emergency
Protect your fellow man
Find the strength to stand
This time, for you and me
In this state of emergency

The Bar Stool Preachers Brighton, UK
The Bar Stool Preachers' experiences have allowed them to create an album that is the perfect blend of intelligent punk anthems and poignant, unsentimental love songs, both combined with the most infectious music you’ll hear this decade. “Grazie Governo” (Italian for “Thank You Government”) exemplifies this, as the tongue-in-cheek title is the first indication that they're wise beyond their years. ... more
