Burn it Down and Start Again Lyrics by M.J. Hibbett & The Validators

Still Valid

0

Conference season's come around
Polluting all the seaside towns
A week of weirdoes, wonks and apparatchiks
While internecine wars are fought
The future of the country's bought
With whisky, wine and sausages on sticks
With well-rehearsed words from the stage
Hard-working families are praised
By people who've never worked a day

Every party all the same
Burn it down and start again
The establishment will never ever change
Pull down empires, kill the kings
Give us back our dignity
Burn it down and start over again
Burn it down and start over again

The cancer of the corporate press
Pervert their purpose to protect
The public from corruption by corrupting
And quisling schoolboys, dense as gold
Use futures that their parents stole
From other children to do nothing
Their gene pool is a gene puddle
Their contribution is sod all
The parasitic produce of the powered

Everybody all the same
Burn it down and start again
Society will never ever change
Pull down empires, kill the kings
Give us back our dignity
Burn it down and start over again
Burn it down and start over again

Every awful rumour that you ever heard is true
They all knew about it but they kept it quiet from you
Everything is rotten, the whole country's corrupt
The only thing that's left we can rely on
Is us

And above pubs the acronyms
Of every alphabet and wing
Are talking talking talking to themselves
One day they'll act, just not tonight
'Cause if they acted then they might
Be forced to find out if they've souls to sell
Far better to do nothing then
Far easier just to complain
Far simpler to write another song

Yes I know I'm just the same
Burn it down and start again
Singing songs will change a thing
Pull down empires, kill the kings
Give me back my dignity
Burn it down and start over again
Burn it down and start over again
