We Don't Believe You (Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, February 2018)

Well I don't know what I'm scared of, but I know that I am scared All the headlines feel like nightmares when I'm lying in my bed If the virus doesn't kill us someone might chop off our heads But no-one chops down Yew trees on Parliament Square And they'll lie all day in Westminster, and they'll lie all day in court And they'll lie about it later on the evening news reports Til there's a hundred thousand bodies lying on the desert floor And they'll point their guns at Russia and they'll start another war And In the media offices all the paintbrushes are there To fill the lines with black and white and fill our minds with fear And pump us full of fashion and a dull sense of despair 'Til we're well behave consumers with no questions and no cares We don't believe you anymore We don't believe you anymore And they'll pass the buck and cover it up and distort every hand 'Til the picture that they're painting is too hard to understand And the canvas stretches over every border of every land Cross the trade routes and religions and those bodies in the sand And if we're after Britain first then we should probably be last Before UK independence we should give back what isn't ours Like the shirts and ties wear wearing made by slaves from afar But those shirts and ties can't hide The emblems tattoo'd on their hearts And we should give back all the oceans and the islands and the sky Cause they don't belong to any man and no man has the right To tell another human being that their access is denied To any corner of this planet or any moment of their lives We don't believe you anymore We don't believe you anymore And the music on the adverts plays like prisoners of war Who've been forced to sell the weapons that they used to abhor And if you tried to ask questions then they'll back you into corners And say you can't ask questions if you haven't got the answers While imaginary money grows on electronic trees And trickles through the masses and fuels the disease Cause the only epidemic with no sign of a vaccine Are the global corporations and their foreign policies We don't believe you anymore We don't believe you anymore
