[Intro, spoken]
When you asked me to join you, all you had was your principles, but over the last two years, you've bent like a human fucking palm tree, swaying to the guff of these six-toed, born-to-rule pony-fuckers!

[Verse 1]
They say "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry"
Odds ten to one, conclusions drawn, solutions barely tried Dissenting youth assemble truth, ammunition for the fight
We knew our time had come, a battle almost won, a target in our sights

[Verse 2]
If we pull this off, we'll bathe in glory
In a week, they'll all be sorry
We could tell a different story now
A tale of bolt cutters and balaclavas
Liberation, love, and ardour
We don't ever plan on backing down

[Chorus]
You know that I had so much hope for the stories we might write
But we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Yeah we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Yeah I had so much hope for the stories we might write
But we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Yeah we lost the plot that night

[Verse 3]
Special branch is pounding at the door
There's annotated blueprints left strewn out across the floor Incriminating evidence
We lost our grip on common sense
Informants in our midst, right from the start
[Verse 4]
Screaming, "face down, hands behinds behind your head"
There's no time to get our stories straight
We were panic-stricken, caught off guard
A rendezvous with Scotland Yard,
No escape, we're falling hard

[Chorus]
You know that I had so much hope for the stories we might write
But we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Yeah we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Yeah I was hopeful that we might just get it right
But we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Yeah we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Yeah we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Yeah we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Yeah we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Yeah we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Yeah we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Yeah we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Yeah we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Yeah we lost the plot while we were piecing it together
Piecing it together
Piecing it together
