about
Geez! I don't know what I can say about this track except...we're living through it!
Re-imagined version of a song written in Findoglen (2020)...but with bells on!
And, a Coda at the end which imagines a Victorian circus and peirrot clowns with lots of pointing toe gestures - to represent Westminster!

LYRICS
Between the joker in the big house and the fool across the pond
It seems whichever way you turn these days, there's no-one to depend on
Cousins turn against their cousin - while right-wing voices cheer them on
And any kindly thoughts or wisdom is long-forgotten or long-gone
Has it always been the same and maybe I just never noticed
Could all the prejudice and hate be a sign that we're...
Living in extraordinary times
Can we now depose the architects...Religion, Billionaires, and so-called elite
And treat everyone decently and live responsibly
People always seem to suffer, from one empire to the next
And the need for greed and power has disastrous effects
Has it always been the same and maybe I just never noticed
All the economic games are a sign that we're...
Living in extraordinary times
Complaints of economic lockdown to stop a virus strain from bats
But the poverty that Billionaires generate - and we're okay with that?
Migrant families make the crossings with the borders out of reach
To make a front page for the media - one dead baby on the beach
Has it always been the same and maybe we just never noticed
All the economic games by the people that we voted
Has it always been the same and maybe we just never noticed
All the economic games by the people that we voted
Between the joker in the big house and the fool across the pond
It seems whichever way you turn these days, there's no-one to depend on
Cousins turn against their cousin - while right-wing voices cheer them on
And any kindly thoughts or wisdom is long-forgotten or long-gone
Has it always been the same and maybe I just never noticed
Could all the prejudice and hate be a sign that we're...
Living in extraordinary times
Can we now depose the architects...Religion, Billionaires, and so-called elite
And treat everyone decently and live responsibly
People always seem to suffer, from one empire to the next
And the need for greed and power has disastrous effects
Has it always been the same and maybe I just never noticed
All the economic games are a sign that we're...
Living in extraordinary times
Complaints of economic lockdown to stop a virus strain from bats
But the poverty that Billionaires generate - and we're okay with that?
Migrant families make the crossings with the borders out of reach
To make a front page for the media - one dead baby on the beach
Has it always been the same and maybe we just never noticed
All the economic games by the people that we voted
Has it always been the same and maybe we just never noticed
All the economic games by the people that we voted
