lyrics

You know the type, who cheat their way out of bad situations,
Abuse friends for favours, lie to relations.
When the danger comes a-knocking, it comes knocking loud.
You’ll look for help, and there’ll be no-one left about.

You’re a product of a shit situation,
Another soul in a broken nation.
And either way, you look like burning it down.
I believed you, first time I heard,
That in this messed up 21st century world,
We have no choice, but to burn it down.

In the belly of the beast, in this whole damned society,
Is where you’re stuck right now, forever you will be.
You wanted our attention, you’ve got it in full force.
Isolated from the help you need through being false.

You’re a product of a shit situation,
Another soul in a broken nation.
Either way, you look like burning it down.
So I believed you the first time I heard,
That in this messed up 21st century world,
We have no choice, but to burn it down.

I heard you whine and you cried until nothing was left,
Shouting and screaming you howled your last breath,
Fate came to claim you, to settle your debts.
The final conclusion that played out… was death.

You cried wolf.

I can see you now.
In a run down pub poncing fags off the regulars.
Shorting on your gifts,
But got a 50 pound habit, haven’t you kid?
Some twisted fairytale,
I feel sorry for the mugs still listen to your siren song.
Don’t get me wrong,
It’s just I crashed before, and you carried on.

The Bar Stool Preachers image

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
