Bread & Circuses

The Violins Are Playing

Who will steer the boat?

Confusion at the protest

No one got the note.

There’s no opposition standing in the way

They’re split down the middle, nothing much to say

The common revolution never seems to last

Killing all the rhythm, living the past

The younger generation throw the vote

Don’t use it and you lose it. You’ll never have a say.

Don’t you struggle with what your purpose is

Keep well fed,

Stay well led.

Just keep taking the bread and circuses

Be well trained and entertained

Don’t you go against the grain.

Propping up a system, feeding on the press

Everybody’s Choking

On the Eton Mess

Using immigration, they focus on the skin

Diverting the attention

To cover up their sins

Don’t you struggle with what your purpose is

Keep well fed,

Stay well led.

Just keep taking the bread and circuses

Be well trained, and entertained

Don’t you go against the grain

Don’t you go against the grain.

More weapons on our shores with specious reasoning

This time in your bread here’s extra seasoning

Government slashes

Their friend’s reap reward

After they’ve taken the hospital wards

Seeking alternatives, I’m some daft lad

A soft 80s throwback like weird shoulder-pads

you’re doing alright so stay on the boat

Pick Red or Blue, and don’t waste your vote

Don’t you struggle with what your purpose is

Keep well fed,

Stay well led.

Just keep taking the bread and circuses

Be well trained and entertained

Don’t you go against the grain

Don’t you go against the grain

Don’t you struggle with what your purpose is

be well fed,

Stay the same

Don’t you struggle with what your purpose is

be well fed,

Stay the same

Don’t you struggle with what your purpose is

be well fed,

Stay the same

Don’t you go against the grain

Don’t you go against the grain.
