2016 - Beans On Toast[00:00:00]
Written by:Jay McAllister[00:00:00]
Count yourself[00:00:00]
Lucky for the minutes[00:00:02]
The hours and the days[00:00:05]
They were singing in the street[00:00:07]
When David Bowie passed away[00:00:10]
And he left behind a message[00:00:13]
Without a shadow of a doubt[00:00:16]
Stand up for what is right[00:00:18]
Stand up for it now[00:00:21]
And I'm slap bang in the middle[00:00:24]
Of this life that I lead[00:00:27]
And it feels as though society's[00:00:29]
Collapsing at the seams[00:00:32]
And everybody knows it's happening[00:00:35]
Still nobody does anything[00:00:38]
Welcome to 2016[00:00:41]
With it's referendums and it's algorithms[00:00:46]
A sudden rise of fascism[00:00:49]
That's fueled by a religious war[00:00:52]
The return of the football hooligan[00:00:54]
You can say goodbye to Muhammad Ali[00:00:57]
Say hello to 2016[00:01:00]
Well you can say goodbye to Prince as well[00:01:05]
Say hello to laws that still[00:01:08]
Prevent gay people getting married[00:01:11]
The dinosaurs are not evolving[00:01:14]
The matters go from bad to worse[00:01:16]
You can see it in the eyes of the homelessness[00:01:19]
But that don't bother Nigel Farage[00:01:22]
Boris Johnson or Michael Gove[00:01:25]
Self righteous[00:01:27]
Self serving twats[00:01:29]
Telling us we want our country back[00:01:30]
Until we're voted out by a majority[00:01:33]
Who are petrified of refugees[00:01:35]
But not economic slavery[00:01:38]
Well I whitewashed my Facebook feed[00:01:42]
So everyone believes what I believe[00:01:44]
But believing this stuff don't sell papers[00:01:47]
Hey look son here's another terrorist[00:01:50]
Here's some more terror[00:01:53]
Here's some more terrorism[00:01:54]
Here's another dead kid without any reason[00:01:55]
Some more propaganda[00:01:58]
Public relations[00:01:59]
Another bloody war followed by a pay cut[00:02:01]
Here's a new prime minister[00:02:04]
Here's a new king[00:02:05]
Welcome to 2016[00:02:06]
Well I remember when Terry Wogan died[00:02:13]
They were flogging off the public land[00:02:16]
So that they could frack underneath[00:02:18]
To please a few conservatives[00:02:21]
Ignoring scientific fact[00:02:24]
That it's bad for the planet[00:02:26]
And it's bad for your health[00:02:28]
The media government corporation[00:02:29]
Sold your soul to their old school friends[00:02:32]
With A levels in the Panama papers[00:02:35]
And GCSEs in arms manufacturers[00:02:38]
The transatlantic TTIP deal[00:02:41]
Is pretty much the end of us all[00:02:43]
And the only ones who benefit[00:02:46]
Are the very people that invented it[00:02:49]
And the lesser of two evils wins[00:02:51]
Time and time and time again[00:02:54]
Welcome to 2016[00:02:57]
Born to lose and live to win[00:03:04]
The words of Lemmy Kilmister[00:03:07]
Who lived his life without regret[00:03:09]
But he was sad of the state[00:03:12]
Of the world that he left[00:03:14]
And Guy Clark didn't sing for the money[00:03:15]
And Howard Marks did what he wanted[00:03:18]
Victoria she made us laugh[00:03:21]
And DJ Derek made us dance[00:03:23]
And now we're holding back the tears[00:03:26]
More than any other year[00:03:29]
And they're playing a Merle Haggard song[00:03:31]
When Donald Duck steps to the throne[00:03:34]
And tells us to hate Mickey Mouse[00:03:37]
If we want to live in Walt Disney's house[00:03:40]
An angry white man on a microphone[00:03:43]
With his finger on the button and a nuclear code[00:03:46]
But here we are right now today[00:03:49]
Just hoping that it will go away[00:03:52]
But we know that's not how the world works[00:03:55]
And if we want to sort it out[00:03:58]
We've gotta do it ourselves[00:03:59]
Try to picture a planet[00:04:01]
That you want to live on[00:04:02]
If you want to build a future[00:04:04]
You gotta start from the bottom[00:04:05]
Try to think of something[00:04:07]
You can do to help[00:04:08]
It doesn't matter how small[00:04:09]
Everything's gonna count[00:04:11]
Right now we need you to be the best[00:04:12]
That you can be[00:04:14]
And try to make a difference in 2017[00:04:15]
