Lyrics

Oh. My. God.
I just read about this band of yobs,
Storming off stage in Madrid,
Like some bratty little kids.
Coz someone threw a flag,
Of Palestine, and he lost his rag.
Said "Don't make me pick a side".
Went offline and tried to hide.
Said "I'm just a singer, I'm just here to do my job."
But you put yourself across like the world's biggest rent-a-gob.
And when all your songs are political.
Mate you just sound hypocritical.
If you wont pick a side, in a genocide,
Don't pretend you fight for the power.
Bands will let you down.
Shame, I liked your sound.
Does your mother know you're a coward?
Oh. My. God.
There's another friend I've lost.
Trying to justify mass graves.
Saying "both sides are the same".
When clearly they're fucking not.
One's got rockets, the other rocks.
So don't pretend it is defence.
When the bloodshed never ends.
Said "I'm a civilian, I don't pretend to understand",
But there are kids being slaughtered in Lebanon, Jordan and Iran.
And when all your words are pacifist stunts,
Mate you just sound like a cunt.
If you wont pick a side, in a genocide,
Don't pretend you fight for the power.
Bands will come and go.
Shame, I liked your show.
Does your mother know you're a coward?
'Don't ask me, I'm just a musician.'
Well I am asking you, because you're a politician,
And Uncle Joe said it's a war of attrition,
So pull up your socks, get ready for the mission.
I don't know why I'm so surprised,
When we consume this daily sack of lies,
From The Sun, the rags, the hateful in disguise,
And we discuss the news,
Whilst they deal with death from the sky.
 
Maybe it's accountability that's lost on me.
Close your eyes to the ethnic cleanse.
'Not my problem, not my friends.'
And it's 1939 on loop.
If you wont pick a side, in a genocide,
Don't pretend you fight for the power.
Bands will let you down.
Shame, I liked your sound.
Does your mother know you're a coward?
If you wont pick a side, in a genocide,
Don't pretend you fight for the power.
Bands will come and go.
Shame, I liked your show.
Does your mother know you're a coward?
