Beans On Toast - 2016 lyrics

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
