Zombie Nation

[Chorus: Jack Wilson]

I get up, I go straight back to bed, I can't find the motivation

I get up, pop a pill for my head as I watch the zombie nation

[Verse 1: Jack Wilson]

What kind of nightmare is this that we find ourselves in?

We're all locked in a ship that is slowly sinking

And as I look around the room, it's like nobody is thinking

They're not even blinking

And then the samba rhythm starts to play 'round the Parliament grounds

As they tell us that we should be British and proud

But I feel like I'm falling faster than the pound

Crying and I'm screaming, but I can't make a sound

[Pre-Chorus: Suggs & Jack Wilson]

Cheer up, it might never happen

But what if it already did?

They've been cutting and slashing, screwing this country since I was a kid

[Chorus: Jack Wilson]

I get up, I go straight back to bed, I can't find the motivation

I get up, pop a pill for my head as I watch the zombie nation

[Verse 2: Suggs, Jack Wilson, & both]

Suggs

What kind of god-awful mess have we got ourselves in

Where the scandal is normal and compassion is sin?

And as I look around the room, it's like nobody is thinking

They must've been drinkin'

And then the samba rhythm starts to play 'round the funeral pyre

Singing "God Save the King" whilst they're stoking the fire

Is it peace that they want, or something else they desire?

Have all our brains been shrunk? Have we been left in the dryer?

[Pre-Chorus: Suggs & Jack Wilson]

Cheer up, it might never happen

But what if it already did?

They've been cutting and slashing, screwing this country since I was a kid

Cheer up, it might never happen

Guess what? It already did

Waving the flag with a heart full of passion, jump to the grave that they've made you dig

[Chorus: Jack Wilson]

I get up, I go straight back to bed, I can't find the motivation

I get up, pop a pill for my head as I watch the zombie nation

[Bridge: Jack Wilson]

I think I've seen a scene like this before, though it was in the cinema

The walking dead were banging at the door, looking angry like they wanted more

I think I read a scene like this before, it was in "1984"

It's such a shame, it's such a bore

Is there anyone here who isn't at it?

[Chorus: Jack Wilson]

I get up, I go straight back to bed, I can't find the motivation

I get up, pop a pill for my head as I watch the zombie nation

[Outro: Suggs & Jack Wilson]

Oi, cheer up Jack

It might never happen

Think it already has, Suggs

I get up
