lyrics

Lines on a map
The lies of the land
End of the empire
Obsolete brand
Magic and rebellion
Gangs and cults
War and destruction
Impress, repulse

Sword in hand
Kneel down and pray
Fundamental rights
Evade and decay
Stone labyrinths
Psychic hills
Broken heartlands
Oven ready deal

Revolving doors
Functioning addicts
Food bank openings
Twisted logic
Follow my leader
Sycophants rave
Look over your shoulder
Who’s holding the blade

Keep walking through the fire
Before the border closes
A chariot of liars ensure the border closes
Before the border closes
The lies of the land

Pirates, shipwrecks
Duper’s delight
Swindlers at the top
Cowards standing by
Scorned lovers
Sacrificial lambs
Running with wolves
Catch me if you can

You didn’t die
But you didn’t survive
Eat out, help out
Satanic bribes
Protest, riots
Tear gas and mace
Unlit uplands
Online dates

Queen and country
Levelling up
Fighters, inmates
Sleeping rough
All fall down
Build back better
Hush up, cover-up
Let’s talk about the weather

Keep walking through the fire
Before the border closes
A chariot of liars ensure the border closes
Before the border closes
The lies of the land
The lies of the land

Phone hack agents
Cyberspace
National security
National disgrace
Clap for carers
Slam the strikes
Pay your taxes
Job for life

Garden parties
Kiss and tell
Follow the guidance
Souls for sale
Stiff upper lip
Take it on the chin
Test, trace
VIP lane

Ram the iceberg
Grab and take
Cost of living
Fossil fuel age
Cash for honours
Take back control
Send in the clown
Devil you know

Magic circle
Protective ring
Save yourselves
God save the king
Rules the waves
On giants we stand
Never be slaves
The lies of the land
