lyrics

There ain’t no satisfaction in this poverty
While the fat-cat’s getting sleeker now
High on prosperity
But that’s the way it goes - everybody knows

I don’t dare turn my heating up
Can’t afford a proper meal
So much for being equal, and a level playing field
But that’s the way it goes - everybody knows

Turn on the news to listen, on the brink of WW3
Posturing politicians playing games no-one can win
But that’s the way it goes - everybody knows


The truth gets squeezed to fill the need of corporate greed
And companies find ways to hijack our democracy
But that’s the way it goes - everybody knows

Distracted by our smartphones and our Twitter feed
Anaesthetised by Facebook and reality TV
That’s the way it goes - everybody knows


We’ve never been so connected, but the disconnect is real
There’s freedom of expression, but beware the thought police
But that’s the way it goes - everybody knows

We’ve never been so empowered, but the straitjacket is real
There’s freedom of information, but the facts are hard to see
But that’s the way it goes - everybody knows.


Who’s pulling your strings?
Who’s pulling your strings?
Please tell me you’re free

When you’ve run out of all your options
And you’re turning out the lights
Praying for some kind of miracle
That’ll light your dark tonight
But that’s the way it goes - everybody knows
