Lyrics

They fought they lost we died
And I thought I’d backed the winning side
It’s over now we tried
No revolution came on the back of a saviour
who was all dressed in white

Hyperbole’s the baseline and truth is no more
Newspapers singing out “praise our kings and thank the lords”
A world full of patriots, borders and force
I didn’t think it would, but it’s happened before.

Now billionaires are space cadets and astronauts starve
Life is a movie and everyone starts
So take what you’re given and do what you like
Or work for a living and you might be alright

Rumours like wildfire. Sirens and screams
But don’t shoot the messenger just know what he means
Cos there’s fire in the ocean that’s not a metaphor
I’ve seen it I’ve watched it on the news, Channel Four.

And it’s easy to lay the blame
And I won’t pretend that I’m a saint
But I will say
That I told you so.

Now it’s over
(We’ve known all along)
Now it’s over
(Now everything’s gone)
Now It’s over
(So do what you want)
It’s the time of our lives

Now it’s over
(We’ve known all along)
Now it’s over
(Now everything’s gone)
Now It’s over
(So do what you want)
It’s the time of our lives
