Need to Know

Forgive me Father for I have sinned

I ain't religious but I've got faith in my friends

And they're all sending it every fuckin' weekend

Fuck what the other one said

Fuck what the government says

I'm gon' wake up in my bed

I'm gon' stop feeling so dead

Toastin' my bread

Covered in butter and butter and butter and butter and marmite

I'm watchin' the telly

This uttering, spluttering nutter who's running our country is all shite, alright

You can love it or hate it (I hate it)

When they lie to your face (Why you lying?)

And cover it up

And it leaves a bad taste

Top of the food chain, unanimous vote

Watch how the mood change when the planet is broke

Animals manage to handle it

We all just wanna dismantle it

Candlelit dinner for two and I'm looking at you

But I'm talking the apple, the Ad of it

Fuck it, I'll tell you this Eve

Just wanna breathe, just wanna leave

Wanna punch everyone lying through teeth

Best believe that the feelings won't go

They never tell us 'til we need to know (Need to know)

I guess it's easy for some people when their feelings don't show

Said they weren't leaving, then they leave to go (Leave to go)

I get the feelings in the evenings and the feelings won't go

Chin up, wave goodbye

Sit up, forget the lies

Get drunk, now's the time

Now's the time for feelings and to really let go

Catch me just sitting at home

Sat in the zone

Original nutter like UK Apache

Like Itchy and Scratchy alone

Anakin, panicking, end of attack of the clones

Rackin' my brain for a couple of answers

Country is run by a couple of chancers

Hold me closer tiny dancer

Somebody give me a hug

Red box, blue box, who?

Who you gonna give a chance, who votes who?

What's the point in ticking one if you don't too?

[?]

Looking at what's here in front of me (Front of me)

The good and the bad and the ugly (Ugly)

Say your goodbyes to economy (Goodbye)

Money for nothing but novelty policies, honestly

They never tell us 'til we need to know (Need to know)

I guess it's easy for some people when their feelings don't show

Said they weren't leaving, then they leave to go (Leave to go)

I get the feelings in the evenings and the feelings won't go

Chin up, wave goodbye

Sit up, forget the lies

Get drunk, now's the time

Now's the time for feelings and to really let go

Uh, I'm thinking it's done (I'm thinking it's done)

I don't think that I'll miss you (Nah)

I remember a time [?] protected but that ain't the issue (That ain't the issue)

And it's all in the past (All in the past)

I'm tryna consider the future

I ook in the eyes of my nieces

And now more than ever, my choices are crucial (Crucial)

And I'm done with pretending (Done with pretending)

Don't care if you're clocking us (Nah)

Your actions are ominous

All of us, sick of believing your promises

You've never been one with us (We Christopher Wallace's)

You're moving like David but in your offices (We're feeling a shift)

The tables are turning, it's giving us confidence

They never tell us 'til we need to know (Need to know)

I guess it's easy for some people when their feelings don't show

Said they weren't leaving, then they leave to go (Leave to go)

I get the feelings in the evenings and the feelings won't go

Who's the person behind the mask?

Do we even need to ask?

'Cause right now, it's a fight now

There's a man behind the farce

On both sides of the pond

Hair of blonde, voices of stupidity

It's almost perfect symmetry

You better wave that wand

Here's the bumbling fools they tell us are our leaders

Hiding behind the face of a clown

The sad face behind the laugh

When clearly he's not up to the task

We're looking for greener grass

Greener pastures, our mouths aware of these

Mass-produced linen plasters

Young ones watch loved ones die

Some shit we never asked for

Sat in the ambulance, revel in the ambience

Whilst they blame the Orient

Defamatory laboratories, whatever sells the biggest story

Fake news, we sing the blues

The blue of the NHS logo shines true

Constant uphill struggle, Sam and Frodo

From Soho, New York to London, Soho

Changing times, hate crimes shake the system

Fate will decide, late to the prize

Was trapped in iso

Too much pasta, too much rice though

Sick get sicker, old get colder

Top of the pile versus back of the folder

[?] soldier, civilian or solider

You carry me, I'll carry you

We'll run from that boulder

Throw anything at us, we'll face it, I don't care

Even when they tell us the only truth on a need to know basis

'Cause the virus ain't racist or a bigot or a sexist

The virus is the leader who ain't showing us the exit, shh
