Give Stupidity a Chance
(Tennant — Lowe)
Intelligent people Have had their say It's time for the foolish To show the way Let's lead this world a merry dance Let's give stupidity a chance We've heard quite enough Of experts and their dealings Why face the facts When you can just feel the feelings? Let's lead this world a merry dance Let's give stupidity a chance Forget political correctness I mean, W-T-F I don't wanna think about the world I wanna talk about myself Instead of governing With thoughtful sensitivity Let's shock and awe the world With idiotic bigotry Let's lead this world a merry dance And give stupidity a chance You say corruption I say justified reward Keeps the cronies loyal Chairmen of the board Let's lead this world a merry dance And give stupidity a chance Forget political correctness Let's talk man to man Chicks are always up for it You gotta grab whatever you can We need a leader who knows That money means class With an eye for a peach-perfect Piece of ass Not a total dumb-cluck Just one of the guys Let's give stupidity a prize Let's lead this world a merry dance And give stupidity a chance Let's give stupidity a chance
On Social Media
(Tennant — Lowe)
When you care about the issues of the day And check your facts on Wikipedia You can and get into an argument right away If you're on social media The world is changing everywhere With a speed that couldn’t be speedier But you feel so ahead of the curve When you're on social media When you're on Social media When you’re on Social media When you're on Social media When you're on Social media You're part of the conversation You're there in every debate From football to religion to contemporary art You're ready to pontificate While democracy is losing its way And greed is getting greedier Console yourself with a selfie or two And post them on social media When you're on Social media When you're on Social media When you’re on Social media When you’re on Social media My likes are in the thousands My tweets are being retweeted My family pics or holiday snaps With total love are greeted It's so nice when people like you You’re feeling hashtag blessed You're part of the conversation It's like you passed the test When you're on Social media When you’re on Social media When you're on Social media When you're on Social media And sometimes you can fuel the debate By biting the hand that feeds ya Expressing pure anonymous hate When you're on social media When you're on Social media When you're on Social media When you're on Social media When you're on Social media (I feel so empowered)
What Are We Going to Do About the Rich?
(Tennant — Lowe)
What are we gonna do about the rich? What are we gonna do about the rich? What are we gonna do about the rich? Come on, well come on! They say democracy is simply very bad for business While deploring student protests in the middle of Hong Kong They insist that people have to work on zero contracts everywhere So profit margins grow and shares are very strong But one group that they never take to task And one question that they never seem to ask is: What are we gonna do about the rich? What are we gonna do about the rich? What are we gonna do about the rich? Come on, well come on! They're buying football clubs today with absolute impunity And so much of the media to give themselves the power To destroy the very notion and the feeling of community While poisoning the public discourse hour by hour But although it never seems to make it into Hansard The question at some point must still be answered, oh What are we gonna do about the rich? What are we gonna do about the rich? What are we gonna do about the rich? Come on, well come on! What are we gonna do about the rich? What are we gonna do about the rich? What are we gonna do about the rich? Come on, well come on! They’re avoiding paying taxes While the welfare state collapses Their extravagance and arrogance Their lack of checks to balance this Their lawyers and their attitude The scale of their ingratitude They only give to charity For maximum publicity What are we gonna do about the rich? What are we gonna do about the rich? What are we gonna do about the rich? Come on, well come on! What are we gonna do about the rich? What are we gonna do about the rich? What are we gonna do about the rich? Come on, well come on!
The Forgotten Child
(Tennant — Lowe)
Where is the child, does anyone know? She's been forgotten, when did she go? The times are brutal, borders are crossed Where is the child? The child is lost Where is the child? Someone must know Who saw her last, why did she go? We were under attack, reaching rock bottom That was our focus, the child was forgotten It's an open secret, we spread and react And if it's not true then the rumors are fact Although she may have been sometimes forgotten There's no suggestion she was misbegotten She was our reason, our religion, our cause Our best excuse for emergency laws Invoked so often to explain and subdue The forgotten child from whom we all grew Child of our nation, our icon, our future Gone from our records, I'm no computer The times are brutal, borders are crossed I think she took flight, and now we're all lost Where is the child? Where is the child? The times are brutal, borders are crossed Where is the child? The child is lost Where is the child? Where is the child?
