lyrics

Everybody loves a shit show
Don't you like to watch them fighting on TV?
My country
'Tis of thee I sing.
In the court of public fury
Justice and wisdom are condemned
Look who's shaping your position
Where does it end?

Is this a game?
Is there really nothing valuable to save
The great debate
Is so confused
'Cos everybody loves to be amused
Yes, everybody loves to be amused
Everybody loves to be amused.

And the rich keep getting richer
And richer
And still your banner's in my face
Can't you see, you stupid fuck
You and me are crammed in the same space.

Are you for real?
Is there really nothing left for them to steal?
The great debate
Is so confused
'Cos everybody loves to be amused
Yes, everybody loves to be amused
Everybody loves to be amused.

Like a bomb
It's ticking
Like clockwork.
Like a bomb
It's ticking
Like clockwork.

Is there really nothing nothing beautiful
To save?
Is there really nothing valuable
To save?
