Will Varley - We Don't Believe You lyrics
rate me(Verse)
I dunno what I'm scared of, but I know that I am scared
All the headlines feel like nightmares when I'm lyin' in my bed
If the virus doesn't kill us someone might chop off our heads
But no one chops down Yew trees on Parliament Square
And they'll lie all day in Westminster, and they'll lie all day in court
And they'll lie about it later on the evenin' news reports
Till there's a hundred thousand bodies lyin' on the desert floor
And they'll point their guns at Russia and they'll start anotha war
And In the media offices all the paintbrushes are there
To fill the lines with black and white and fill our minds with fear
And pump us full of fashion and a dull sense of despair
Till we're well behave consumers with no questions and no cares
(Chorus)
But we don't believe u, we don't believe u
we don't believe u anymore
We don't believe u, we don't believe u
we don't believe u anymore
(Verse 2)
And they'll pass the buck and cover it up and distort every hand
Till the picture that they're paintin' is too hard to understand
And the canvas stretches over every border of every land
Cross the trade routes and religions and those bodies in the sand
And if we're after Britain first then we should probably be last
Befo' UK independence we should give back what isn't ours
Like the shirts and ties we're wearin' made by slaves from afar
But those shirts and ties can't hide the emblems tattooed on their hearts
And we should give back all the oceans and the islands in the sky
Cos' they don't belong to any man and no man has the right
To tell anotha human bein' that their access is denied
To any corner of this planet or any moment of their lives
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
And the music on the adverts plays like prisoners of war
Who've been forced to sell the weapons that they used to abhor
And if u tried to ask questions then they'll back u into corners
And say u can't ask questions if u haven't got the answers
While imaginary money grows on electronic trees
And trickles through the masses and fuels the disease
Cos' the only epidemic with no sign of a vaccine
Are the global corporations and their foreign policies
(Chorus)
