[Verse] The trains don’t run, the roads collapse, the planes plunge in mid-flight, The doctors quit, the teachers cry, but bankers sleep all night. The apps all crash, calls don’t go through, the bots pretend to know, But every time you need some help, there’s nowhere you can go. [Chorus] But everything’s fine, the system’s divine, the markets know what’s best, So pour a drink, don’t stop to think, there’s no cause to be stressed. The servers hum, war-mongers drum, the media toe the line — We’re free at last, the die is cast, and everything is fine. [One-line instrumental break] [Verse] The spokesman smiles through gritted teeth, the pundit spins and grins, The wars are waged for “peace and trade,” though no one ever wins. The people cheer for saviours who’ll sell them out by noon, They’ll start another genocide when it is opportune. [Verse] The news is fake, the facts are lies, the “truth” is now for sale, The loudest fool gets richest fast, the cheque is in the mail. The algorithm loves you now — it knows your hopes and fears, It sells you dreams on credit and then bills you in arrears. [Chorus] But everything’s fine, the future’s online, we cannot hear the cries, Our freedoms trend, our values bend, we monetize our sighs. The data flows, the empire grows, the pipelines gleam and shine — So sleep in peace, your rent’s increased, but everything is fine. [Two-line instrumental break] [Verse] The bridges rust, the power’s off, the buses break in two, The nurses sleep in parking lots, the bills are overdue. The lawyers serve the billionaires, the rest get locked away, And “justice” means a prison term for those who don’t obey. [Verse] The factories hum with robot hands that don’t get sick or tired, They work for watts not wages, and they never need be fired. The managers applaud themselves for “cutting human waste,” And call it “innovation,” with all irony erased. [Chorus] But everything’s fine, efficiency’s thine, the margins all align, The shareholders love layoffs and the metrics look divine. The board’s agreed, the boss appeased, there’s nothing here malign — The end’s not nigh, so don’t deny that everything is fine. [One-line instrumental break] [Verse] The preachers tweet, the poets weep, the orphaned children wail, The oceans choke on garbage, burning forest creatures quail. The air’s too thick for breathing, but there’s profit in the haze, And carbon credits buy you grace and bureaucratic praise. [Verse] The cops patrol with battle drones while cities rot below, The homeless die invisible, and no one wants to know. The regulators pack their desks — their jobs deemed obsolete, And governments ignore the law; their coo is now complete. [Chorus] But everything’s fine, the sweet bottom line’s a holy, golden grail, The market speaks in tongues of peace — the mouth that eats its tail. The churches close, the taxes rose, but faith is now online — So click “amen,” refresh again, and everything is fine. [Two-line instrumental break] [Verse] So here we stand, connected — alone, afraid, and proud, Each shouting through the static hum, one lonely global crowd. We blame the poor, the sick, the weak, for problems we designed, And toast to freedom, dying slow, and all those left behind. [Verse] The system shakes, the lights go dim, the final feeds expire, And all that’s left are memos from the ghost of White Empire. Still someone hums a cheerful tune beneath the thinning sky, A last sweet laugh before the crash — a lullaby “goodbye!”. [Final Chorus] But everything’s fine, the stars still shine, the press release was clear, There’s nothing wrong, we’ve played along for yet another year. So raise your glass, let reason pass, salute the grand design — We had it all, we watched it fall… and everything is fine. [One-line instrumental break] [Repeat final line — slower]
