about

Our first single is our theme tune. It's a frantic two-minute blurt of irreverent sneering and catchy riffs. Like John Lydon does Have I Got News For You.

lyrics

The People Who Run The Country

Yeah, that’s right
we’re the people who run the country
and it’s our fault you don’t like what you see
when you look in the mirror.
We came into your bedroom last night
and rearranged your teeth in your fucking mouth

It’s our fault you don’t like your wife
it’s our fault you don’t like your life
why your team loses
why your throat hurts
It’s our fault it’s raining

We’re the people who run the country
So come blame it all on us
A blend of thug and gentry
But no sir, we ain’t out of touch

Yeah that’s right
It was us that pissed on your chips
And we didn’t wash our hands
just sung happy birthday twice for fun
Happy Birthday to us

And yes, we are having a party
And no, you’re not invited
So take your scabby placards and do one
You stop the virus
You save the planet

We’re the people who run the country
So come blame it all on us
A blend of thug and gentry
But no sir, we ain’t out of touch
