[Chorus: Jack Wilson]
I get up, I go straight back to bed, I can't find the motivation
I get up, pop a pill for my head as I watch the zombie nation

[Verse 1: Jack Wilson]
What kind of nightmare is this that we find ourselves in?
We're all locked in a ship that is slowly sinking
And as I look around the room, it's like nobody is thinking
They're not even blinking
And then the samba rhythm starts to play 'round the Parliament grounds
As they tell us that we should be British and proud
But I feel like I'm falling faster than the pound
Crying and I'm screaming, but I can't make a sound

[Pre-Chorus: Suggs & Jack Wilson]
Cheer up, it might never happen
But what if it already did?
They've been cutting and slashing, screwing this country since I was a kid

[Chorus: Jack Wilson]
I get up, I go straight back to bed, I can't find the motivation
I get up, pop a pill for my head as I watch the zombie nation

[Verse 2: Suggs, Jack Wilson, & both]
Suggs
What kind of god-awful mess have we got ourselves in
Where the scandal is normal and compassion is sin?
And as I look around the room, it's like nobody is thinking
They must've been drinkin'
And then the samba rhythm starts to play 'round the funeral pyre
Singing "God Save the King" whilst they're stoking the fire
Is it peace that they want, or something else they desire?
Have all our brains been shrunk? Have we been left in the dryer?
[Pre-Chorus: Suggs & Jack Wilson]
Cheer up, it might never happen
But what if it already did?
They've been cutting and slashing, screwing this country since I was a kid
Cheer up, it might never happen
Guess what? It already did
Waving the flag with a heart full of passion, jump to the grave that they've made you dig

[Chorus: Jack Wilson]
I get up, I go straight back to bed, I can't find the motivation
I get up, pop a pill for my head as I watch the zombie nation

[Bridge: Jack Wilson]
I think I've seen a scene like this before, though it was in the cinema
The walking dead were banging at the door, looking angry like they wanted more
I think I read a scene like this before, it was in "1984"
It's such a shame, it's such a bore
Is there anyone here who isn't at it?

[Chorus: Jack Wilson]
I get up, I go straight back to bed, I can't find the motivation
I get up, pop a pill for my head as I watch the zombie nation

[Outro: Suggs & Jack Wilson]
Oi, cheer up Jack
It might never happen
Think it already has, Suggs
I get up
