Dismantling the NHS, selling it to the big business, soon it'll all be privatised, the rich/poor gap is on the rise, shitty jobs wont pay the rent, let alone health insurance minimum wage wont cover that, not on zero hour contracts. Where'd you get the money for, funding another war when you cant afford to pay, nurses a living wage three years, full time degrees, now you've scrapped their bursaries, moan about the situation, blame it on immigration. Prioritising profits while so many people die, only those with money have the right to stay alive.. DENTAL PLAN.. LISA NEEDS BRACES x3 The papers say "it's Red Alert, the hospitals are getting worse" "Doctors cant see us all, tighten border control" "too many people, it cant last, also they're under-staffed" "come over and steal our jobs, but they wont work they're lazy slobs" Its the papers job to make us scared, but we all know the moneys there, take to the streets to have our say, "there is another way" make corporations pay their tax, so we can have our healthcare back, the NHS is everyones and you've no right to sell it on. DENTAL PLAN... LISA NEEDS BRACES

If war is the answer, must be a stupid question When will the killing stop, when will we learn our lesson? And the social structures of society, don't take into account the majority Of the billions of people who lose out 'cos of globalisation CAPITALISM IS A SYSTEM Feeding and thriving on the exploitation Of the disregarded voices without any other choices nations And I know in this world you get nothing for free But I'd rather be a pauper than sell all my humanity For a suitcase of corporate spin and a six figure salary IF IT'S NOT PLANT MILK THEN THE COWS HAVE SUFFERED Calves being killed right in front of their mothers And thrown right in the bin 'cos they aint worth anything And the adverts won't let you see this side All the deals and the offers make the suffering alright So many people don't know or worse they don't mind If you've got oil they'll find a reason To drop bombs on your country all in the name of freedom If you've got oil they'll find a reason To drop bombs on your country all in the name of freedom If you've got oil they'll find a reason To drop bombs on your country all in the name of freedom If you've got oil they'll find a reason TO DROP BOMBS ON YOUR FUCKING COUNTRY If war is the answer, must be a stupid question

Heist! 02:22
Lotus biscuits taste fantastic Such a shame they're wrapped on plastic We've journeyed quite far to their place of creation Hoping for further tasty gestation There's nothing better than a biscuit with coffee Or tea or a mocha with oat milk that's frothy No matter how bourgie you like your hot drinks They always taste better with Lotus biscuits No matter what happens we're leaving with biscuits We've got a heist planned and we're willing to risk it By hook or by crook we're gonna get biscuits So open your gates and give us your biscuits Sustainable palm oil and certified vegan Not ethically perfect but it's a beginning Animal products don't need to exist IN THE CREATION OF TASTY BISCUITS It's not just the biscuits the spread is amazing I put it on cakes in the place of a glazing The blandest of sponges become heaven sent With the inclusion of blended biscuits Give us biscuit spread Give it to us soon We wanna eat it now Simply with a spoon Give us biscuit spread Give it to us soon We wanna eat it now Simply with a spoon No matter what happens we're leaving with biscuits We've got a heist planned and we're willing to risk it By hook or by crook we're gonna get biscuits So open your gates and give us your biscuits And your spread Biscuits and your spread Your biscuits and your spread Biscuits and your spread Your biscuits or your life

Can you tell me what a bezoar is? It's a stone from the stomach of a goat Is there a vegan alternative? You know I really don't think there is So I made a vegan bezoar In my cauldron it is floating I made it outta soya A combination of mince and protein And my potion don't work quite the same I'd rather that then any animals be in pain Why can't more potions be suitable for vegans? You know it don't have to be that way Why can't more potions be suitable for vegans? You know it don't have to be that way Can you tell me what the frogs legs do? You know I really don't have a clue In that case shall we just leave them out? I think that's a really good shout So we replaced them with a uniQuorn It's a vegan friendly meat free horn And it must've had some magic in 'Cos our potion really started bubbling And our potion worked better than all the rest No animals hurt in our potions test YES! Why can't more potions be suitable for vegans? You know it don't have to be that way Why can't more potions be suitable for vegans? You know it don't have to be that way

There's four of you and one of them you drag her to the floor, because holding a banner's more dangerous than fuelling war. a war that you claim that you're against well sorry mate you're not even on the fence. you're hand in hand with the law that supports this war defending the arms trade, is this what you signed up for when they gave you your badge made you an officer? to serve and protect? well you're not protecting shit You're just protecting a system that's fundamentally flawed, on one had opposing and the other funding war. I don't know how you sleep at night, protecting the sale of weapons to countries that abuse human rights protecting the sale of weapons to countries that abuse human rights This is our right to protest, this is unlawful arrest the courts and law are on our side, the judge has decided that this opposition is justified, we know our right and we'll continue to fight until you realise though you don't drop the bombs there's still blood on your hands and this shit is wrong you've been defending this was all along, we'll keep on fighting and together we'll stand strong Stop protecting a system that's fundamentally flawed, on one had opposing and the other funding war. I don't know how you sleep at night, protecting the sale of weapons to countries that abuse human rights protecting the sale of weapons to countries that abuse human rights As for the government, i guess there's money to be made so they sit back and watch as arms dealers trade in numbers of lives, innocent lost, they only care about their monetary costs MPs say they're against it, they say this is wrong, yet they still carry on put their officers on the job to keep the peace, for our own protection, well we're here for peace and you're just adding aggression Stop protecting a system that's fundamentally flawed, on one had opposing and the other funding war. I don't know how you sleep at night, protecting the sale of weapons to countries that abuse human rights protecting the sale of weapons to countries that abuse human rights In your town, weapons made profits for the arms trade act in defiance or do nothing in compliance x4 Stop protecting a system that's fundamentally flawed, on one had opposing and the other funding war. I don't know how you sleep at night, protecting the sale of weapons to countries that abuse human rights protecting the sale of weapons to countries that abuse human rights protecting the sale of weapons to countries that abuse human rights

My New World 03:52
I don't understand why everyone's so upset About the way things are I was born here and I love it here And it seems to me we did ourselves a favor Old people won't shut up about the 'Golden Age' I've heard about your 'Golden Age' And your generation line nostalgia Makes me tune right out Blah Blah, I miss the stars I heard they look like pinpricks In our sheet of tin-foil Hung in the window of a dark room (BIG DEAL!) They say the sunsets never used to look like this All blues and greens, they're beautiful Admit it! They're beautiful. It was never an apocalypse It was our rebirth, our brave new world And World War X gave us chips in the head Which gave us an edge on the walking dead I'm not afraid of the living dead All you gotta do is shoot 'em in the head They fall right down and let's admit They were the walking dead a long time ago You there! The writing on the wall It's funny how you never talk about that at all But, as you can see from a thousand miles a way Exactly where we'd be today With your pre-coil production Your genetics disasters Your net imitations going faster and faster Your super-colliders ripping holes in space Your virtual worlds that deny time and place Well, I'm glad we're here This is my home That world destroyed deserves to be gone It's beautiful place full of new possibilities The camera's wiped clean for new realities
