lyrics

THE AGE OF RAGE

This is the age of rage
two men trapped in a cage
Years in the making
moments in the breaking
Shouting and pouting
a Dog whistle brew
Grandstanding politics
nothing is new

Internet despair no one to care
God’s not forsaking cash in the raking
Universal credit a euphemism for dole
The peoples welfare out of control
Its money for nothing the foodbanks free
Doff your cap on bended knee
X factor shite drunk with the boys
Saturday night Guinness and golf game noise
Crisis at xmas homeless on the rise
Sleeping on the corners seeing it with your own eyes

This is the age of rage
two men trapped in a cage
Years in the making
minutes in the breaking
Shouting and pouting
a Dog whistle brew
Grandstanding politics
nothing is new

Burning books and online crooks
Art for arts sake and knowing looks
Anger at tomorrow anger at today
Rage against the Right wing rage against the left
Interwoven into society the warp and the weft
Coloured by the palette the Red white and blue
No grey men left standing no subtle hue
Rancour and wanker rip out the canker
The Cold war reason longing for the past
A new world order the threatened bomb and blast
Swapped for disorder the conundrum of chaos
The media darlings and lobbyists play us

This is the age of rage
two men entwined in a cage
Years in the making
minutes in the breaking
Shouting and pouting
a Dog whistle brew
Grandstanding politics
nothing is new
Fighting it out cat and mouse
town and country shotgun and grouse
A city under siege humanity surrounded
a distant front line sanity confounded
The noisy desperation
of a convulsing quiet nation
Enemies to the right of us and enemies to the left
the fabric torn the warp and weft
Fantastic plastic stretched elastic
a world at permanent breaking point
Industrial captains saints anoint
A ten round bout slugging it out
On the ropes of the ring say a prayer on a wing
To an age of rage two men in a cage
Sort it out no need to shout
Louder and louder Brexit is Brexit
Burning the buildings with no fucking exit

This is the age of rage
Two men trapped in a cage
Years in the making
Minutes in the breaking
Shouting and pouting
A Dog whistle brew
Grandstanding politics
Nothing is new

Two men in a pub there’s the rub
Golf club racism ever so polite
Blackball the bastards no need to fight
Bring back the fifties I was young and nifty
After the war we were oh so thrifty
Remember chrome
cars with wings
Our terraced home
women in the kitchen
Feckin gays
Left wing bullshit
political plays
Bring back national service
that’ll show this generation
Clink our glasses in bar room exultation

This is the age of rage
two men entwined in a cage
Years in the making
minutes in the breaking
Shouting and pouting
a Dog whistle brew
Grandstanding politics
nothing is new
