lyrics

People, Papers, haters

Fake news . . . the people
So true . . flat Earth people
You don’t know where you’re going
You don’t know what to do
You need someone to hold your hand
Oh . . . shame on you

Fake news . . . the papers
So Blue . . . Vicious papers
Right wing on the payroll
Wire taps on demand
You sold your soul for millionaire’s gold
Oh . . . Shame on you . . . shame on you
Shame on you . . . Shame on you

This is the land of the many nation.
We are the people of our own creation
We are the music and the streets of the free
We were the envy of democracy

But you claim to represent me
With your hate and bigotry
To make a killing when you sack the nation
With your deception and your detestation

Is your story so disaffected
To abandon this land infected
With a blight that you projected
A nation’s flag now flies corrupted

Our grandparent’s legacy neglected
They fought the fascist to be liberated
Not to spread your spurious hatred
It is from you that we must be protected

Fake news, the haters
So true. Not so secret haters
Crawl out of the woodwork
Throw petrol on the flames
Your selfish pride makes me sick inside
Oh . . . Shame on . . .

you . . . Oh . . . Shame on . . . x6

SHOTGUN MARMALADE Kingswinford, UK

SHOTGUN MARMALADE: High-energy, rhythmic, dark pop-punk songs payed either as a power trio or solo on an acoustic guitar with plenty of clicks, chops and skanks. Lyrics are humorous, ebullient, ironic and often cryptic, dealing with the darker side of life, usually with foot-stomping accompaniment and an opportunity to ska-pogo for those who so wish. We don't take ourselves too seriously!!. ... more
