Lyrics Stop Being An Arsehole - Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq, Ben Dawson, The London Belles

Stop Being An Arsehole

The time has come, you will agree, to stop being afraid
To do away with subtlety and call a spade a spade
We’ve passed the point when one can simply turn and look away:
Stop being an arsehole!
Ok-ay!
We’ve been politely sitting on the fence for far too long
And burying our heads in the sand to pretend there’s nothing wrong
Ignoring a rotten smell will never make it go away:
Stop being an arsehole!
Ok-ay!
We’ve reached the end of reasonable and sensible debate
And must adjust the balance now before it is too late
Does every ill-informed moron deserve to have a say?
Society won’t progress while there are half-wits in the way
Immature, privileged fuckwits do not recognize they’re blessed
And when given half a chance they cannot help but make a mess
The grown-ups need to intervene and interrupt their play:
Stop being an arsehole!
Ok-ay!
The many folks who fought to have a voice across the years
Didn’t do so for old racists to launch political careers
By screaming with entitlement that they deserve to have their way:
Stop being an arsehole!
Ok-ay!
The progress that’s been made within the realm of equal rights
Cannot simply be abandoned and set back overnight
Reversing all advancements by four or five decades
Stop being an arsehole!
Ok-ay!
The imbeciles who rant against the changing of the times
Inevitably use all their advantages to hide
Proverbial hits the fan and are the first to place the blame
By protesting far too much when they should really be ashamed
So let’s all shout out loud when there are bigots holding court
Let frank words overpower and cut their frantic raving short
The darker days of history must not be seen again
Stop being an arsehole…
A-men!
