fingermae – it only took the end of the world lyrics
some people work in office roles and others in construction
there’s medical, financial and transport & manufacture
these are real jobs worth respecting, some might even say essential
but who keeps them happy on the weekend?
we wait your tables pour your beers and make the art that brings you tears
we make the music and the p+rn that you get off to
we staff the shops you spend your wage in, dream of one day having savings
on an income that is only ever shrinking
when you’re locked inside for months and fun is hard to come by
do you turn to netflix and the radio, p+rnhub and deliveroo
what is there in your life besides from work
do you think that we are valuable now?
it only took the end of the world
it only took the looming fall of civilisation
it only took the cessation of life as we know it
to get the b+st+rds to think about us
every time you vote conservative you pick psychopaths named justin
over bartenders just trying to get a leg up
you vote to casualise the work force
cutting penalty rates of course
but has anybody witnessed any savings trickle down?
it’s not just hospo and the arts and millions of the retail staff
been getting screwed by growing corporate profit margins
just ask anyone on welfare, in education or in healthcare
do they remember what it looked like to be gaining any ground?
2200 icu beds for 24.6 million people
seems legit til 2% of the population’s critical
and newstart being doubled in a week
proves it was not enough to live on tin the first place
it only took the end of the world
it only took the looming fall of civilisation
it only took the cessation of life as we know it
to get the b+st+rds to think about us
though you’ve thrown some cash around
to stop your house of cards from falling down
you don’t get off the hook that easy…
we still hate your neo+liberal guts
we wouldn’t be here if you hadn’t cut
more often than a mower at a golf course
