smiley & the underclass - machiavelli blues lyrics

i wake up to the mobile sound
another 8-bit day in this two-bit town
half asleep, eyes red and my neck feels sore
and the room still stinks from the night before
crawl through the bedroom door
and as i move to the sink
hear the first dog bark as i brush my t–th
looking at the mould above and wondering what lies beneath
the people upstairs still ain’t fixed that leak
the rent’s due and it feels deep
it’s a deep heat blues

i’m making cigarettes and cereal
skyline’s full of aerials
movement’s made unseen is like a dreadlocks at funerals
the city is a human zoo
ah, what’s eating you?
honey baby, where’s the special brew?
what are we all running after?
running these streets till disaster
honey baby won’t you tell me what’s the answer?
from high trees to teversham lane
there’s got to be some kind of change
change the blues

sometimes i like to walk the streets on my own
and catch the cannibals and see the pigeons munching on the chicken bones
a rolling stone on the steps of stepney green
listen to the word and you might see what i see
occupy, civilize, uprise, downsize
the shadows of romans that wear many guises
behind disguises we see their surprise
is a cry that’s as tight as their ties
meanwhile mum and dads hooked up to the telly
the man on sky news is telling them life is scary
upstairs the smell of skunk is getting kinda heavy
little jimmy’s turning machiavelli with his blackberry
ah yeah, what you gonna do
when you got the machiavelli blues?

weh dem a do and a weh dem a seh
when the good lord come and mash it away
this sound have fe really lead the way as i would say
weh dem a do and a how dem a fall
when a babylon back is against the wall
but this is not a time to fall
this is the time to stand tall
so what you gonna do when you got the machiavelli blues?
