the bar stool preachers - never gonna happen lyrics

[verse 1]
i took the 49 night bus back across town
jumped off where red sky meets the grey walls
a fascist on the shop’s radio saying racism just ain’t racist any more
but i know my land
histories of blood etched with truth on my path
and in this town, keeping a level head and an open heart
don’t seem to be the place that most people start

[pre+chorus]
billy bragg don’t play on radio 1
not any more
billy bragg don’t play on radio 1

[chorus]
by now!
you should’ve seen the pattern
anything you want is never gonna happen
do you sit back
and just accept the fact that
anything you want is never gonna happen?

[verse 2]
so alone, so apart, so wrapped up in guilt
they distracted you with headlines so you never knеw how you felt
they taught you to hate
to bе proud of an empire you didn’t create
a global blueprint for a neo+fascist state
it’s the immigrants!
scream the expats
from some sunny beach in spain
well they moved out for a last ditch effort of some fun
whilst others run from bullets like rain
[pre+chorus]
johnny foreigner!
johnny foreigner!
johnny foreigner!
they all cry
the prime minister
pleased to meet ya
cause i’m sure he’s a real nice … yeah, whatever

[chorus]
by now!
you should’ve seen the pattern
anything you want is never gonna happen
do you sit back
and just accept the fact that
anything you want is never gonna happen?

[bridge]
the american dream is a complex, russia oppresses
saudi arabia is confused with strict rules and rich dresses
our lungs are on fire, way down in brazil
we sell the second world the medicines that made us most ill
the petrol
the oil
the need to compete
the trickle down lies
the hollow foods that we eat
did you hear samoa’s obese?
there’s mcdonald’s in cuba
the working class is automated
be a robot
or an über
[verse 3]
you picked the lesser of two evils
when you could’ve picked freedom
you picked the lesser of two evils
can you hear it?
our time has come

[chorus]
by now!
you should’ve seen the pattern
anything you want is never gonna happen
so do you sit back
and just accept the fact that…
anything you want is never gonna happen!?
