[Chorus]
I hear the thunder sometimes, it makes me wonder if the world is going under
I hear the thunder sometimes, it makes me wonder if the world is going under
[Verse 1]
There's broken glass, on the street
Holes in my boots, it hurts my feet
The lord has got my laces, someone stole my braces
Trousers down, too many's got done for flashing
Thank you, please
I'm sick of this place, and the beggar rat race
I'm tired of glue on everybody's face
People dyeing hair green
Say they got the herpes
It's just a social disease
Keep away from me please
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wake me, 'cause I'm staying in bed
I only get up, to cook my poached egg
[Chorus]
I hear the thunder sometimes, it makes me wonder if the world is going under
[Verse 2]
For the past five years, I've looked for a job
I've given up working as an undercover slob
Affected by redundancy, try to fit society
Sign on social security, boy that's a mouthful
Got no money, I don't think it's funny
I can't pay my bail, haven't got enough for ale
My girlfriends left me
Her name was Betsy
Now I'm at the [?] Michaels, repossessed my bicycle
HP credit card [?] down the raves
I just broke my toe on some kid's roller skate
Football, frisbees, there ought to be a local law
Stopping all the games, breaking all my window panes
Kids in the passage with a cricket bat
You got to wear a helmet to get past that
[Pre-Chorus]
So don't wake me, 'cause I'm staying in bed
I only get up, to cook my poached egg
[Chorus]
I hear the thunder sometimes, it makes me wonder if the world is going under
I hear the thunder sometimes, it makes me wonder if the world is going under
[Verse 3]
My father, he's so bad
Tried to hog my TV
He owns a block of flats and still takes the rent off me
I wonder where my life went wrong?
I think I'll write a pop song
One chord, keep it clean
All I need to promise you
Disco, reggae, [?] and punk
Don't take it serious, it's all a pile of junk
Junk is what my brothers in and he's made a mint
Chauffeur-driven limousine and here I am skint
[Pre-Chorus]
So don't wake me
'Cause I'm staying in bed
I only get up, to cook my poached egg
[Chorus]
I hear the thunder sometimes, it makes me wonder if the world is going under
I hear the thunder sometimes, it makes me wonder if the world is going under
[Verse 4]
I went for a job, as an undertakers mate
Supposed to turn up dead in time, I turned up late
I didn't get the job, so I went on my way
Down to the corner to the Chinese takeaway
Two 47's and a 52
Some chicken fried rice, I said that would do
How am I gonna pay for this? I got no bread
Oh my God, what I do?
[?]
What's that he said?
[?] Bruce Lee [?]
Come and get that, don't push me
'Cause you are, no bread, joke
That's why you gonna get no fried rice
[Verse 5]
There was nothing left, but to try some fried
Me and my friends, we have the time
We turn up to the bank, came up through the floor
To find the bank had closed down three weeks before
Tried to education two nights a week
A costume basking weaving, all the baskets leak
Jogging gave me asthma [?] athletes feet
Tried to be a chimbley sweep, couldn't take a seat
Surrounded by the microchip
The future's looking risky
The only glimmer left, my God, is robots dog [?] Whisky
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wake me, 'cause I'm staying in bed
I only get up, to cook my poached egg
[Chorus]
I hear the thunder sometimes, it makes me wonder if the world is going under
I hear the thunder sometimes, it makes me wonder if the world is going under
[Outro]
I hear the thunder sometimes, it makes me wonder if I'm always going under
I hear the thunder sometimes, it makes me wonder if the world is going under
Ah I don't believe this, the rains going through the holes in my boot
I've just sheltered the storeway
[?]
Oh no, not you again
Aren't ya five?
[?]
So there you have it
A scintillating symphony of sound
And I hope you all have a really nice day
Don't you tell me what to do
Right, that's it, I've had it
No more rapping
I don't care if no more braces
I'm going home to bed
I'm want to sleep
I'm not interested in more rapping
Silver lurex suit
I can't take no more
I've got me money
I don't mind, I don't care
Wax it, finish
No booze, no nothing
I don't want no more money
I've had it, that's it
Dance
Dance
Dance
Dance
Ooh, dance
