Count yourself lucky for the minute, the hours and the days
We were singing in the street when David Bowie pa**ed away
And he left behind a message that without a shadow of a doubt
Stand up for what is right, stand up for it now
And I'm slap-bang in the middle
Of this life that I lead
And it feels as those societies collapse as it seems
And everybody knows it's happening, still nobody does anything
Welcome to 2016
With it's referendums and it's algorithms
A sudden rise of fascism that's fuelled by a religious war
The return of the football hooligan
You could say goodbye to Muhammed Ali
Say hello to 2016
Or you can say goodbye to Prince as well
Say hello to laws that still prevent gay people getting married
The dinosaurs are not evolving
The matter has gone from bad to worse
You can see it in the eyes of homelessness
But I don't bother Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson or Michael Gove
Self-righteous just self-serving twats
Telling us we want our country back until we vote it out by a majority
Who are petrified of refugees and not economic slavery
But I whitewashed my face with fate so everyone believes what I believe
I believe in this stuff don't sell papers
Hey look "SUN", here's a another terrorist
Here's some more terror
Here's some more terrorism
Here's another dead kid without any reasons
Some more propaganda and public relations
Another bloody war followed by a paper
Here's a new prime minister
Here's a new king
Welcome to 2016
Well I remember when Terry Wogan died
They were flogging off the public land so that they could frack underneath
So please if you conservatives ignoring scientific facts
That it's bad for the planet and it's bad for your health
The media-government-corporation sold your soul to their old schoolfriend
Reveal their [?] in the Panama Papers and [?] in arms manufactories
The transatlantic TTIP-deal is pretty much the end of us all
And the only ones who benefit are the very people that invented it
And the lesser of two evils wins
Time and time and time again
Welcome to 2016
Born to loose and live to win
The words of Lemmy Kilmister who lived his live without regret
That he was said of the state of the world that he left
And [?] didn't sing for the money
And Howard Marks did what he wanted
Victoria she made us laugh
And DJ Derek made us dance
And now we're holding back the tears more than any other year
And they're playing a [?] song when Donald Duck steps to the front
And tells us to hate Mickey Mouse if we wanna live in Walt Disney's house
An angry white men on a microphone with his finger on a bu*ton and a nuclear code
But here we are right now today just hoping that it will all go away
But we know that's not how the world works
And if we wanna sort it out we gotta do it ourselves
Trying to picture a planet that you wanna live on
If you want to build a future you got to start from the bottom
Try to think of something you can do to help
It doesn't matter how small, everything is gonna count
Right now we need you to be the best that you can be
And try to make a difference in 2017
