Tekst piosenki
[Verse 1]
Let no stone go unturned
No village go unburned
Let nation's price-taggers stick their sallow daggers into everything that we own
Let our very children
Sold as X-Factor cattle, be stripped in teenage battle as slabs of beef from bone
Slabs of beef from bone
Let every minute
Of every day
Let [? 'em know how I go unconcerned?]
In [?thrall of bent?]
To those bastards we pray
So no sovereign peace
Goes unearned
No child that you not sell
No memory you'd not chop or fell
No corner that you'd not plow, duly burn and cast down to hell
[Pre-Chorus]
Advice to daughters, 1, 2, and 3
When you're too old to sit on Dad's knee
In the words of your grandpa
When we've given up hope
We've so little left it, it was ours
[Chorus]
(Telescope)
Don't buy a 50p telescope
(Stars)
You'll only see 50p stars, my girl
(Telescope)
Don't buy a 50p telescope
(Stars)
You'll only see 50p stars
[Verse 2]
Let's carry around some bottles of water
To rattle around with the keys to your car
Your jumper stuck right up the crack of your arse
Mine still are
Let's strike up a loud conversation
Of off-piece too long
And turn the volume right up when it's some place we've been and they've not gone
Let's keep putting 'right now'
After everything we say
Till a simple 'at the moment' seems a dark and dark and distant day
Let's chew gum like a six year old
With sunglasses on our head
So in winter they know we're half-bred and definitely half-mad
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Let's go shopping in the bitter half-quarter
Let's look around the bazaar
5 pounds for a bottle of fizzy water, I'd rather be old than what it is you are
See, they do not like the outspoken
Only broken, or soon on the mend
No time for bridges or valley ridges, no diversion nor no mountain bend
Let's wreck the earth and do India
On the cheap, in our bare feet
Come back home, order takeaway, mock the way that they speak
Beware that coffe-to-go carryin' bastard
He's trying to kill you, child
Take ploughman's lunch, reach it by path and take that route,d one pound a mile
Until every path we may tread upon
Everything we ever see
Is more valuable to their kids and them than valueless to me, or thee
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
'We are the world'
No you're not
You're overpaid chancers on an oversize yacht
Message in a bottle to Sting
'Lose the fucking yoga and the Yang or fucking Ying'
If you wanna teach the world to sing
[Chorus variant] x2
(Shotgun_)
Don't buy a 50p shotgun
(Stars)
You'll only shoot 50p stars, my girl
(Shotgun)
Don't buy a 50p shotgun
(Stars)
You'll only shoot 50p stars
[Outro]
Let's adopt some African babies
Now we know the fear of rabies
Shove them in a bag at the port then into the back of our Mercedes
Everything, everything we tread upon
And everything we ever see
Is more valuable to their kids and them than valueless to me, or thee
