From I Thought We'd Live Here Forever2025

Lyrics

State of Affairs

The trains are on strike Look who′s just lied Would you believe the price Walkable cities explained by the ultra-right Phoning my girlfriend She's walking back home tonight And a black girl′s gone missing But let's not give it any airtime This is the state of affairs (affairs, affairs, affairs, affairs) This is the state of affairs (affairs, affairs, affairs, affairs) Same song again Small kids are dead But Ted loves the Second Amendment Oh, don't be crass, ′cos I′m not a moron Just a case of liberated development Satisfy your degrading kink It's free online when you search with Bing Ozempically thinner A diabetical plan to miss dinner This is the state of affairs (affairs, affairs, affairs, affairs) This is the state of affairs (affairs, affairs, affairs, affairs) This is the state of affairs Oh, I′m trying to make things work But I feel it's about to get worse This is the state of affairs
