Verse 1 and 5 I don't want to wear those Devil's old shoes I don't want to wear those Devil's old shoes He's been keeping me down And making me frown I don't want to wear those Devil's old shoes Verse 2 I have to wear them every day I have to wear them everyday I can't take them off How the rich folk scoff I have to wear them every day Verse 3 The Devil weighs me down every day The Devil weighs me down every day I carry him on my back In a tough old sack The Devil weighs me down every day Verse 4 It's a long old journey down below It's a long old journey down below It'll take you some time The Devil is mine It's a long old journey down below

Chorus Can you hear that train Coming for you Can you hear that train Bad old choo choo Verse 1 Flat on your back, tied to the track Ready to die, no time to cry Rumble of fate, a flattened state No one around to hear a sound Verse 2 Should have spoken, bones a broken No room to choose, you can't get loose Bonds are so tight, chained up in fright It's getting near, paralysed fear Verse 3 Can't get away, or do you stay There is a choice, find your voice Break the Chain, over and again Time to be free, now think of me

Verse 1 I went for a walk one day With my good friend Dan The weather was nice Seemed like a good plan Conversation was flowing As you do My brain went away My mouth carried on through Chorus That's how you get Bird semen and hookers Verse 2 This alarmed us somewhat That our minds went there We were really confused That we would care We started to ponder How to extract a bird's seed All that gooey juice Has to be freed Verse 3 We wondered about bird porn Where you can get it It was time to contemplate We found somewhere to sit It's not a normal discussion Seemed strange to us Would it be cool to bring up Or would it cause a fuss Verse 4 We decided to give up And went on home Dan thought of using a sexy frog Posing as a garden gnome Back like a clitoris But birds don't like that stuff It was beyond us And enough is a enough

Verse 1 Oh, I'm stuck inside, don't know what to do Don't know what to do Oh, I'm stuck inside, don't know what to do Don't know what to do I gone and got me Those Corona virus blues Verse 2 Queueing up at the supermarket End up with some really weird food, some really weird food Queuing up at the supermarket End up with some really weird food, some really weird food Where is the toilet paper and pasta What if I need the loo Verse 3 Covid 19 You gotta keep your hands real clean, real clean Covid 19 You gotta keep your hands real clean, real clean The whole world's gone mad I wish it was a dream

Verse 1 We're watching you I know that's a fright We know what you did We know what you ate last night Spying through a million lenses Oh, what a sight We know who your friends are We know what you ate last night You give us the information You're not that bright We monitor what you buy We know what you ate last night We know your jeans size And you like them tight What websites you go on We know what you ate last night Chorus TV dinner Society Makes me laugh You think you're free Verse 2 We watch everyone We know that's a fright You ain't so special We know what you ate last night We know when you drink Oh, what a sight Stumbling in the street We know what you ate last night We don't like your new TV It's not that bright Buy another one We know what you ate last night You bought some rope Tie it up tight Dirty little pervert We know what you ate last night Verse 3 How well you drive your car Now that's a fright Can't drive away from us We know what you ate last night We listen on your phone Outta sight We listen on your speakers We know what you ate last night What movies you watch It's all so bright Here, buy these ones We know what you ate last night Advertisements We got them tight Tell you what to buy We know what you ate last night

Verse 1 I don't ever want to lie to you girl That seems fair I don't ever want to lie to you girl That seems fair It's when you look at me Deep into my eyes I don't ever want to lie to you girl that seems fair You look deep into my soul which no one can compare Verse 2 Come on into my kitchen girl I'm gonna cook you up something real good Come on into my kitchen girl I'm gonna cook you something real good Feeling hungry for something And that something is you Come on into my kitchen girl I'm gonna cook you something real good I ain't gonna be discreet A man's got to eat Verse 3 You drive me wild girl Ain't that the truth You drive me wild girl Ain't that the truth You feel so good When you're in my arms You drive me wild girl Ain't that the truth I wanna be in bed with you All night and all day

Background “There's a man in the back” and “Thief, liar, murderer” Verse 1 There's a man in the back Can't you see There's a man in the back Richer than you and me He pulls lots of strings Controls many things Don't know what he wants Or why he wants it Verse 2 He steals from the world Makes his own rules he tries to control Laughs at the fools Hides in plain sight So hard to fight Those who are awake Are the ones he must break Verse 3 War, famine, poverty He makes his money through misery Let's Bring the man down Lets Bring the man down The rules he breaks He's prepared for the ends Nothing for me and you Trapped in the zoo Verse 4 He puts up the wall Divided we'll fall Hidden slavery We'll never be free Over years he got in Using any sin Too late to stop The power won't pop Let's bring the man down, let's bring the man down

Chorus Just keep on moving Just keep on going Don't make the mistake Don't take a break Just keep on moving Verse 1 It feels weird Things just stopped I'm not at work And now I'm just stuck in Verse 2 They didn't want us To just stop Slow the machine Well, I never thought they would, anyway Verse 3 They want us back As soon as we can Turn those cogs At any cost

Verse 1 I ain't got no money and life ain't cheap I ain't got no money and life ain't cheap I wish I had me some more money I ain't got no money and life ain't cheap I can't see a way out It's what the world's all about Verse 2 I work all day and that ain't enough I work all day and that ain't enough Seems like I can't get no further I work all day and that ain't enough I thought by my age Things would get a little easier Verse 3 Everyone says they do, but they don't want the world to change Everyone says they do, but they don't want the world to change I can't see why we put up with it Everyone says they do, but they don't want the world to change I fear we're killing ourselves and everything around Verse 4 I think I may complain too much, I don't have it so bad I think I may complain too much, I don't have it so bad Food in my belly and a roof for my head I think I may complain too much, I don't have it so bad I got clothes on my back And a nice comfy bed Verse 5 Perception is the problem, it can break me so bad Perception is the problem, it can break me so bad The war in my head is the hardest to fight Perception is the problem, it can break me so bad You gotta look to the light Or you'll get beaten so bad

Verse 1 Sometimes it's hard to get up Sometimes you just can't speak Sometimes you can't face anyone Sometimes you're just not okay Verse 2 Just the bread and butter is hard You can only beat yourself up Others do nothing, and breaks your heart Sometimes you're just not okay Verse 3 A broken mess is how you feel You can't move for want You wish it could just go Sometimes you're just not okay Break Please don't give up Please don't give up Soon the light will return Live in the shadow Verse 4 You've just got accept this It's a part of you Learn to love yourself Sometimes you're just not okay

Verse 1 Now, let me tell you about little Jimmy Luck His parents really couldn't give a fuck Put him in a house for lost boys Went and sold all his toys He was always ill you see Had every single allergy With every bone break and all his ills Couldn't afford the hospital bills Verse 2 Every time he went out for a bit He'd end up covered in bird shit His shoes were covered in all the mess Lost all his clothes but for a dress Through every dink and hole he would trip Lets not even talk about his fly zip That poor boy would be breaking everything And listen to the boy as he'd sing Verse 3 Now Jimmy liked a pipe It didn't do him no good When he lit it up His house was made of wood So then that house burnt down Poor Jimmy, smoking, sleeping clown Now when Jimmy goes to sleep He's got no roof or food to eat
