Lyrics
[Intro — eerie, spoken]
(quiet, almost smiling)
Welcome…
To polite society…
⸻
Where everything’s fine…
As long as you don’t look too closely…
⸻
[Verse 1 — slow, building]
Got a letter through the door…
“your bills are going up again”
⸻
Funny how it rises fast…
but never really comes back down again
⸻
Turn the heating off at night…
wrap a blanket round the pain
⸻
While they’re talking ’bout “recovery”…
on a private jet somewhere in Spain
⸻
[Switch — quicker, sharper]
Clap for the NHS… then cut it at the root
Smile for the cameras while they’re tightening the noose
⸻
Tell us “keep calm”… while the kettle don’t boil
Cost of living rising but the wages stay loyal
⸻
To a system that’s broken, but nobody speaks
’Cause we’re all too tired just surviving the week
⸻
[Hook — quirky, ironic]
(slight bounce, unsettling)
But it’s all okay…
That’s what they say…
⸻
Just smile and behave…
And work… and pay…
⸻
It’s a “fair” little game…
If you don’t look away…
⸻
Welcome…
To the UK…
⸻
[Verse 2 — darker storytelling]
Man down the road lost his job last week
⸻
Now he’s standing in a line just to try and eat
⸻
But the headlines say the economy’s strong
⸻
Guess it depends on what side you’re on…
⸻
Single mum counting coins at the till
⸻
While MPs argue over pointless bills
⸻
Talking big words like it changes a thing
⸻
While she’s choosing between food and heating
⸻
[Switch — Ren-style escalation]
Tell me who’s winning?
Tell me who’s fine?
⸻
Tell me why truth gets buried in lies?
⸻
Tell me why we keep playing along…
When we all know something’s wrong?
⸻
[Bridge — eerie calm]
(quiet, almost whispering)
But don’t say too much…
⸻
Don’t question the game…
⸻
Don’t step out of line…
⸻
Or you’ll be to blame…
⸻
[Final Hook — bigger, sharper]
It’s all okay…
That’s what they say…
⸻
Just smile and behave…
And work… and pay…
⸻
It’s a “fair” little game…
If you don’t look away…
⸻
Welcome…
To the UK…
⸻
[Outro — dark punchline]
(quiet, serious)
You’re free…
⸻
As long as you do…
Exactly…
What you’re told…
