Lyrics
It’s not what you know, it’s who you know
Not where you’ve been but where you’ll go
No-one seems to care about the past
But that is where you’ll find the truth
You don’t have to be a sleuth
But it’s a point our leaders never grasp
They can’t say that they weren’t warned
They claim to be so well-informed
They shoot the breeze but they’ll reap the whirlwind
So when push* comes to shove
What the hell are we thinking of
When we contemplate giving in?
Chorus
Hey, hey , hey, hey
That’s the price you pay
When the world keeps turning
And you turn away
Hey, hey, hey, hey
There’s a price to pay
We got both ends burning
We’re gonna burn away
US flags fly at half-mast
To commemorate their spaceship crash
And mourn the seven souls they could not save
Meanwhile out in Iraq
They’re counting out the body bags
And digging holes for a million graves
This kind of hyprocrisy
Will bring no good to you and me
But it is being done in our names
Attack the symptoms not the disease
Then everyon’e an enemy
The whole damn world’s going up in flames
Chorus
Asylum seekers stoke your fear
That Britannia will disappear
And terrorists are hiding everywhere
Where did they get the idea
That they should come over here
Well when our empire was over there
Where is your humanity
You lost it with your sanity
When you swallowed all that tabloid hype
That by the colour of their skin
Not one of them should be let in
But this is not a case of black and white
Chorus
Outro verse
What comes around goes around
And we’re forever dumbing down
By so-called reality TV
And the papers are just full of soaps
So we believe that all our hopes
Are vested in C-list celebrities
Chorus
Hey, hey , hey, hey
That’s the price you pay
If you don’t keep learning
Every day
Hey, hey, hey, hey
There’s a price to pay
We got both ends burning
We’re gonna burn away
