Normalising lies and corruption, creaming it off for themselves Terrorising lives with their coal black eyes, accumulating mountains of wealth With power to divide it all adds up, don’t need no powers of deduction Pressure valve drops now it’s ramping up, normalising lies and corruption Take your hands off my people, I got my eye on you On you and your people, and everybody like you Watching every move you make, you fake They will try to prove, it was really your mistake Pressure valve drops now it’s ramping up The temperature keeps on rising, and rising, and rising Demonising tribes is a function, of those who seek to divide Promulgating hate and division, and hoping you stand aside If your face don’t fit you can do one, and if you don’t fly the flag Or sing that dirge of an anthem, your voice they will try to gag And if you lend your vote to a populist, you can cross my name off your birthday card list If you take offence at my point of view, then drop the pretence and admit what is true If you think the ride is going to be free, I’ll be calling you out from the top of every tree If you stole the jewels whilst everyone slept, that’s a state I will never accept Into a place you should never have stepped, now they’re Normalising lies and corruption, creaming it off for themselves Terrorising lives with their coal black eyes, accumulating mountains of wealth With power to divide it all adds up, don’t need no powers of deduction Pressure valve drops now it’s ramping up, normalising lies and corruption Take your hands off my people, normalising lies and corruption I’ve got my eye on your people, promulgating hate and division Take your hands off my people, demonising tribes is a function Cos you and your people are normalising lies and corruption

They closed down that bar with the Sandeman statue in the window The Brazilian café bit the dust Jenny from the Box got ripped off in a rockin’ rollin’ swindle The jubilee wheel has turned to rust They burnt down that shack by the railway station They made short work of it No-one pays for anything anymore in this damnation The millennium clock is clogged with shit Hang out at the front, I hear the Northern Lights are performing Anywhere you want, tell the crew to all come calling It’s nothing serious, it’s just the end of something special Just the end of don’t tell me now, that’s not instrumental Where will those people go now, how do they meet Why can’t they walk it right down, with the world at their feet When will the curtain come down, what about the final bow Then you’ll be slipping right out, your leaving time is now Your leaving time is now
