my old man's a dustman

My mum asked me recently
do you ever just switch off
but there’s palm oil in everything
and I’ve got a chronic cough
there's warnings in the paper
not to breathe the fucking air
and white supremacist terrorists
won’t be stopped with thoughts and prayers
The rich won't pay their taxes
but the poor get sent to jail
and the rest of us pick up the slack
when the bank’s too big to fail
There’s children kept in cages
their abusers all walk free
everyone just turns their head
it’s not effecting me
the NHS is failing
at the hands of tory scum
I weep for failed America
it’s a sign of what’s to come
if you wanna have a baby still
then contemplate it’s worth
$10 000 each at least
to overpopulate this earth
the planets fucking burning
and those with sway don’t care
it’s up to us to foot the bill
now that’s not very fair
the media’s not mediating
Murdoch’s made his bed
just suppress the voters now
democracy is dead
Black lives fucking matter
Now watch how you respond
Neutrality is violence
You’ve been silent for too long
Our Trans brothers and sisters
Need our voices in the fight
You feel attacked because you’re wrong
It’s not because you’re white
The times they keep on changing
And you try to block the way
This fighting for equality
Is every single day
We are all responsible
This world is fucking ours
It’s time to strip authority
From all abusive powers
The queen is just for tourists
So let’s sell her fucking crown
our rents are on the rise again
and the pound’s way fucking down
The numbers just keep going up
on people sleeping rough
But they re defined poverty
and claimed they’d done enough
so we’re eating out of food banks
and working till were dead
it’s getting harder to resist
I can’t get out of bed
My old man’s a dustman
He’ll work until he’s dead
He’ll grind his bones into the ground
to make his daily bread
Oh my old mans a dustman
He’ll work until he’s dead
He’ll grind his bones into the ground
to make his daily bread
Oh my old mans a dustman
He’ll work until he’s dead
He’ll grind his bones into the ground
to make his daily bread

One step forward decades back
regression is this years political track
fear fuels cruel in the climate of lies
hatred trumps and humanity dies
the old white right puts up the fight
post truth fuck proof and talking shite
they stoke the fire we feel the burn
will we ever learn
they’ll tell you what you want to hear
it’s worse and worse year after year
if you want change then make it clear
Oh there’s gonna be war!
Money talks but we talk too
I’ve had enough and you’ve got enough too
I look around and this much is true
Oh there’s gonna be war!
One step forward decades back
regression is this years political track
One step forward decades back
regression is this years political track
One step forward decades back
regression is this years political track
One step forward decades back
regression is this years political track
They’ll fuck the queers
fuck the poor
they’ll fuck the foreign ones even more
drop the bombs even the score
when money is power, all they want is more
One step forward decades back
regression is this years political track
fear fuels cruel in the climate of lies
hatred trumps and humanity dies
the old white right puts up the fight
post truth fuck proof and talking shite
they stoke the fire we feel the burn
will we ever learn

It’s crazy how easily this world is un spun
don’t question the doing until it becomes done
for years I have tried, some things you cant shun
take me from this place mother I salute to the sun
well the weight of this world it breaks my back and I fold
I’ve carried this burden just like Atlas of old
some things are to heavy for one person to hold
take me out of this place, take me out of the cold
oh I salute to the sun
give me your cancerI’m done
oh I salute to the sun
give me your cancer I’m done
I’m oh so tired of hiding and my life on the run
if what I did was appalling
what you did was the same
promise not to save me
I’l surrender my name
my only problem with living
is that I don’t feel alive
and so I crave for your judgement
and I don’t hope to survive
oh I salute to the sun
give me your cancer I’m done
oh I salute to the sun
give me your cancer I’m done
I’m oh so tired of hiding and my life on the run
I’ve been creeping in shadows
trying to hide from the light
and you’re all here right beside me
through perpetual night
I lay myself before you
hands to the sky
take me from this place mother
I am ready to die
oh I salute to the sun
give me your cancer I’m done
oh I salute to the sun
give me your cancer I’m done
I’m oh so tired of hiding and my life on the run
I salute to the sun

we can shout
03:46
|

If it ain’t broke then don’t fix it
but it's broke beyond a joke
to the point we’ve come to risk it
falling apart at societies seams
when unseasonal winds carry unfortunate screams
we need money
we need money for a roof
were you lying dying hungry or denying the truth
these are the things we cant do without
we can break it from the inside out
we can shout
we can shout
we can shout
we can shout
we can shout
we can shout
We can break it from the inside out
They want you blind or mute
ignorance was surely bliss but you know the truth
trickling water to the hopeless
running water for health
I’m not so hopeful it will trickle from your off shore wealth
we need humanity
who the hell disagrees
how many ways your politician pays
to put you down on your knees
these are the things we need to do without
when we break it from the inside out
we can shout
we can shout
we can shout
we can shout
we can shout
we can shout
We can break it from the inside out
I cant breathe so I sink
you think you’re paying them to teach you
and they’ll teach you to think?
I’m drowning in the depths of your apathy and fear
one way for another I am getting out of here
we need help
but you ask it of a crook
who let you die and you cry and your tear blinds your eye
he never gave a fuck
these are the things we cant afford to doubt
we’re gonna to break it from the inside out
we can shout
we can shout
we can shout
we can shout
we can shout
we can shout
We can break it from the inside out

Gold Girl

mask me in your fantasy
let me reflect all you want to see
take me farther than the eyes
make it hard for me to cry
cover me in sheets of gold
leave only glitter in this mould
our eyes will not be bought or sold
just take us from this painful cold
fly fly let me fly
failing that just let me die
ignorance was surely bliss
now let me fly away from this
let me float far far out to sea
abandon it all and I’l finally be free
take a gulp and swallow me
I’l find comfort when i no longer see
Gold Girl
Gold Girl
wring the colour from my gaze
and leave me in this empty haze
from the darkness set me ablaze
and push me through the final phase
red, gold, I’m crystal clear
nothing on me but a blatant fear
you could shatter me with a single tear
it feels the end is creeping near
Gold Girl
Gold Girl

you’ve got bags under your eyes like I’v got under mine I guess that
you have not been sleeping it’s a symptom of our time
theres just way too much stimulation too much noise and information
and you cant switch off your head and your fed up with masturbation
please don’t hate yourself for your insomnia it’s just not healthy
I also lie awake at night and imagine I was wealthy
Or I had a little bit more money so I wasn’t stressed
I could lie on feather pillows, memory foam that would the best
One day things wont be quite so bad and you will not hate yourself
As much as on these sleepless nights kept wide eyed by your mental health
these panic attacks will fade and stop and you will breath more clearly
you’ll realise you’re not alone and someone loves you dearly
You will find the best in you
Lose the worst bits slowly
There is time still to discover the best in you
I know It can feel so lonely.
I know It would help if only
You could sleep tonight.
I make lists in my head things like everyone I’ve slept with
or the places that I’ve visited or places that I wished I did
Sometimes I pretend I’m in a tent and it is raining
Or I’m in a cabin on a ship that someone else is sailing
I write songs like this one or another one you might have heard
It helps to think of syllables, rhymes if you can find the words
It doesn’t help to go on emails instagram or Facebook
but I usually cant help myself and have to have at least one look
I’m kept awake by my regrets and secrets that I’m keeping
I’m kept awake by guilt about the fact that I’m not sleeping
I’m kept awake by scrolling trolling ass holes make me crazy
kept awake because I spent my day being so lazy
Will I ever sleep again
I can’t even remember
What it felt like when I used to sleep so well
I hope I’m not always lonely.
I know it would help if only
I could sleep tonight.
One day things wont be quite so bad and I will not hate myself
As much as on these sleepless nights kept wide eyed by my mental health
these panic attacks will fade and stop and I will breath more clearly
and realise I’m not alone and some one loves me dearly
I will find the best in me
Let me breathe more slowly There is time still to allow myself
the rest I need

The truth is leaving you
your youth is leaving you
I believe in you
but you are seething
you are fading away
and craving the day
your hating won't make you whole
This drink is saving you
the hurt is craving you
but they are paving you
a road that leads you
but you’re fading the same
and making a name
your hating won’t make you whole
so stop. Just end it here
you don’t need this fear
it’s true you’re nowhere near
it’s true you’re nowhere near
to filling this hole
filling this hole
filling this hole

shake me shake me try to wake me
from these bonds that try to break me
why do I feel so alone when all these faceless bodies feel like home
I’m over this I’m over you
tonight I’m trying something new
I do my best to swallow stone with no direction in this endless hole
remember what it’s like to lose control?
I’m coming up, I’m crashing hard
I’m coming up, I’m crashing hard
I’m coming up, I’m crashing hard
this night is gonna leave me scarred
Maybe we’re just passing through
and just to say it makes it true
why do I still feel so lost? I sought this out, I always knew the cost
I’m right here where I wanna be
that’s a choice you made for me
breathing in can sting the brain now swallow hard I have no words on pain
remember what it’s like to feel this way?
I’m coming up, I’m crashing hard
I’m coming up, I’m crashing hard
I’m coming up, I’m crashing hard
this night is gonna leave me scarred
