A Westerner Walks Into a Bar

A Westerner walks into a bar
Television on the Middle East corner
Talk to the barman a bit about cars, a bit about war and a bit about Captain America
About 50 thousand dead!
What a tragic tale, what a moral dilemma?
"What can we do to help?"
Say it again and again and again until you've entertained yourselves

He said "Hmm, if I'm being honest
I've never heard of your country until we bombed it"
There's an invisible gun in my pocket
Pays for a round of shots and a gossip
And a pissed up thought in the water closet
Don't use soap, no tap, don't wash it

Unspoken law of the land
It's fashionable to have blood on your hands
Then you start getting racist
Talk about refugees getting payslips
50 pounds a week for needs is outrageous
You spend nearly a ton on a night getting waisted

Reform UK. K . K
Let's make Britain great again
Fingers click and a monthly wage is a thousand Stellas and a Lebanese takeaway
I put my faith in God
And a rich man's bank account
TV says, "Few million displaced"
I say, "Fucking keep 'em out"

"What can we do to help?"
Say it again and again and again until you've entertained yourselves

He said, "Hmm, if I'm being serious
This service is shit and I don't think you're hearing this
The news is depressing
Can someone turn it off?
I don't wanna be dancing when another bomb drops"

Another shot and cheap bear and cheap talk
On international relations and the state of the war
State of the nation
State of the rich and the poor
State of the- who gives two shits 'bout some war?

I've been waiting 30 minutes and I haven't had another drink yet
Is the country in the sink yet?
Is the threat of nuclear action on the brink yet?
I will blow your mind when I get the time I think
Says: "Oh the horror"
I wish I could change it
If I don't get served in five minutes I'm complaining
Now I'm getting kicked out
Now I've got a bottle, I might wrap it over somebody's head down the cobbles
