We Don’t Believe You
Well I don't know what I’m scared of, but I know that I am scared
All the headlines feel like nightmares when I'm lying in my bed
If the virus doesn't kill us someone might chop off our heads
But no-one chops down Yew trees on Parliament Square

And they’ll lie all day in Westminster, and they'll lie all day in court
And they'll lie about it later on the evening news reports
Til there's a hundred thousand bodies lying on the desert floor
And they'll point their guns at Russia and they'll start another war

And In the media offices all the paintbrushes are there
To fill the lines with black and white and fill our minds with fear
And pump us full of fashion and a dull sense of despair
'Til we're well behave consumers with no questions and no cares

But we don’t believe you / we don’t believe you
We don't believe you anymore
We don’t believe you / we don't believe you
We don't believe you anymore

And they'll pass the buck and cover it up and distort every hand
’Til the picture that they're painting is too hard to understand
And the canvas stretches over every border of every land
Cross the trade routes and religions and those bodies in the sand

And if we're after Britain first then we should probably be last
Before UK independence we should give back what isn't ours
Like the shirts and ties wear wearing made by slaves from afar
But those shirts and ties can't hide the emblems tattoo'd on their hearts

And we should give back all the oceans and the islands and the sky
Cause they don't belong to any man and no man has the right
To tell another human being that their access is denied
To any corner of this planet or any moment of their lives

And we don't believe you / we don't believe you
We don't believe you anymore
We don't believe you / we don't believe you
We don't believe you anymore

And the music on the adverts plays like prisoners of war
Who've been forced to sell the weapons that they used to abhor
And if you tried to ask questions then they'll back you into corners
And say you can't ask questions if you haven't got the answers

While imaginary money grows on electronic trees
And trickles through the masses and fuels the disease
Cause the only epidemic with no sign of a vaccine
Are the global corporations and their foreign policies

Well, we don't believe you / we don't believe you
We don't believe you anymore
We don't believe you / we don't believe you
We don't believe you anymore
