Well the crooks got smarter and the
World got harder
And the punks got pissy and the
Streets got messy and the
Fights got bigger
But the tax got cheaper
So the rich got richer
While the broke got broken
And it’s all a big game
try not to go insane
The world’s on fire
Pouring petrol on the pyre
So the trees gets burned up
And the air gets choked up
And we vote for mobsters
Who put kids in cages
Then they blame all the people
Outraged in their rages
And it’s all a big game
try not to go insane
There are nazi’s marching
There are lynch mobs singing
The president tells us
These are good guys, this is winning
His team’s in prison
He just wrote them a pardon
Cos they pay off his hooker
Every time he gets a hard-on
Like it’s all a big game,
try not to go insane
Pooh and Putin
Are just laughing off their asses
Cos it makes cheap war
When democracy’s your whore
Just own the network
It’s the way to win the fight
When you can lock away the people
Who don’t write the things you like
And it’s all a big game
try not to go insane
It’s all so fucked up
You sold your soul for profit
Whatever you once dreamed of
I promise you you lost it
But fuck all the sages, huh?
Who needs wisdom?
Don’t bore me with your bullshit
‘bout equality and freedom
Cos it’s all a big game
The whole world has gone insane
