lyrics

oh deary dear
it’s a cock up and a half
cock up in your hands
and a pint within your grass
oh deary dear
it’s a cock up
what a laugh
blame it on the raft 'cause
the desperate shall not pass

that’s 100000 dead
not the blood of a thousand men
that’s 200000 dead
not the blood of a thousand men
that’s 300000 dead
not the blood of a thousand men
that’s 400000 dead
not the blood of a thousand men

oh deary dearest
I might punch the realest
person who will hear this
show my boys i'm fearless
father didn’t rear us
to live in smokeless mirrors
so am I just a mirage
a twisted mirror image

of 41000 dead
or the blood of a thousand men?
i amount to a fountain pen
a phoenix near falcon men
i’d rather hear mavericks
I live off of alchemists
you couldn’t amount to this
that’s why you’re all spouting it
I rarely stay round the pits
but I love me a rowdy prick
this government's counterfeit
cowering proud of it
the prowling they shall permit
grounded in mounted shit
founded a louder bitch
that might slap around the rich

oh deary dear
it’s a cock up and a half
cock up in your hands
and a pint within your grasp
oh deary dear
it’s a cock up
what a laugh
blame it on the rafts 'cause
the desperate shall not pass

austerity’s the death sentence
covid is the chair
I am just a lowly female
ill-prepared
type me up a treat
i'll retreat into despair
now watch me lay it bare
I’m the one you cannot bare

that's 100000 dead
not the blood of a thousand men
you front with your loud offence
I’m proud to be countering
i’d rather be staggering
in castles we gather in
that’s why I’m about the lip
that’s why i surmount a prick

oh deary dear
it’s a cock up and a half
cock up in your hand
and a pint within your glass
oh deary dear
it’s a cock up
what a laugh
blame it on the rafts 'cause
the system is a farce.
