Tuppence for Hate |
| And you wonder why people are racist |
| But have you seen the news |
| This daily institution has a habit of blurring truth |
| Start out six-pm with a sense of love for everyone |
| Then just after seven, the feeling’s gone |
| You built borders where there were no walls before |
| And all you’re left with is some half-baked ideas |
| Paranoia and seemingly justified fears |
| And you see a bag at a bus stop, you think its a bomb |
| You built prisons upon prisons for us all |
| And you wonder why people are confused |
| But have you read the papers |
| This daily institution doing wonders for race-relations |
| Start out early on with a sense of love for everyone |
| Then when you read the headlines, the feeling’s gone |
| You made problems where there were no problems before |
| And who controls our words controls the world |
| And the myths entangle all |
| Are good intentions blurred, it is time to see |
| State of mind — no state of mine |
| And you wonder why we voted to leave |
| But have you seen the news |
| A duty to inform the public totally abused |
| And now you left with nationalist ideals |
| Marooned on an island with two-percent beers |
| And the severed head of The Hydra still rolls on |
| You built prisons upon prisons for us all |
| And who controls our words controls the world |
| And the myths entangle all |
| Are good intentions blurred, it is time to see |
| State of mind — no state of mine |
