Oh, oh, oh, nah! [Verse 1] So, you don’t think that you’re a slave Told what to do (WHEN) and how to behave What to think about that and this Who to allow in, who to dismiss This is when you work and this is when you sleep How you should look, what you should eat For that you’ll need appropriate permission Subconsciously beaten into submission [outro] Oh, oh, oh, nah! [Verse 2] So, you don’t think you’ve been robbed For one job (HERE) an employer gets mobbed And the payment you receive feels like defeat How you gonna make both ends meet And your country takes a fair old wedge The ‘public servant’ grows up a bigger hedge For these broken services we see all around But none, when you need them, can be found [Pre chorus] Your time will come Your time will… come [Chorus] Who cares what the future might look like High taxes, cost of living, fuel price hike I don’t know about you but I’m starting to resent Living in this dystopian present I’m a tenant Living in a dystopian present Our dystopian present Oh, oh, oh, nah! [Verse 3] So, you don’t think that you’re conditioned You don’t think that you’re being decommissioned Not being forced to tow the line You did that wrong, pay the fine Across the eyes is pulled the veil Might try to see it all but fail Don’t notice and become distraught Just do what they say and think their thoughts [Pre chorus] Your time will come Your time will… come [Chorus] Who cares what the future might look like High taxes, cost of living, fuel price hike I don’t know about you but I’m starting to resent Living in this dystopian present I’m a tenant Living in a dystopian present Our dystopian present [Bridge] Don’t trust him He doesn’t trust you, son Don’t trust anyone! [Instrumental with guitar solo] Oh, oh, oh, nah! [Pre chorus] Your time will come Your time will- come Your time will come Your time will… come [Chorus] Who cares what the future might look like High taxes, cost of living, fuel price hike I don’t know about you but I’m starting to resent Living in this dystopian present I’m a tenant Living in a dystopian present Our dystopian present This dystopian present
