Here's a Story

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh)
Oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh)
Oh, oh

Here's a story
Dad's a tory
Mum's a neo-suffragette
And I write "fuck you" on my chest
And then I wear it like a crest

Dad he never was the type to shy away from the press
When they asked about his family life
He shut up 'til his death (no, no, just, shut up)
Am I a beneficiary of a despicable system?
I'd rather have a pair of trainers than a socialist Britain

Would she smile at the stage?
Behind the curtain they're scheming
If you've got choice, there's the illusion of freedom
Say that "you can make a living if you try really hard,"
But they've been trying for a century now and they never really got too far (not on my fucking watch)

Poverty: the thing that keeps them in the state, they made it
Feed 'em 'til they're satiated
Kill him 'cause he's educated

Indecisive wankers in a box
And they'll give you all a job, but they'll give you all a boss
Oh, I think I've found a new place to call home
But it's one of those homes where nobody hugs each other
Or shows any sign of affection
Just not what they do there
No, no, no

Oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh)
Oh (oh)

Here's a story
Dad's a tory
But I don't give a shit
'Cause I couldn't care less about politics
I just want to get rich

Why would I interest myself in a political landscape, when...
I don't even know how to talk to people
And I want a car

I think I should put my priorities in a certain hierarchy, y'know?
You know people my age have made it
And well, well I haven't even started

Life's not fair!
And political thought takes care (no dad it literally isn't)
Of the unique question as to whether and where (and sometimes it feels like you don't understand me)
Unfair's fair or fair's too fair (and I just keep fucking telling you)

And frankly
I couldn't begin to be bothered about a scruffy politician
His question time
Show stoppers

I like thinking 'bout stuff
Y'know, talking 'bout stuff
Don't take it too serious
Half of the time, I'm just like watching Netflix with a beer

Because lately
I've been playing ukelele and thinking 'bout nothing much else
No, no, no

Lately
Imma tell you what's new
I've been writing 'bout funny shit y'know?
Songs about you-oh-oh-oh

Woah-ooh, woah-ooh
Woah-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da, da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da
Woah-ah- oh, woah-oh
Woah-da-da-da
Da-da-da
