Lyrics
I’ve got a hole in my shoe that lets in rain,
and another new lump in another vein;
I’ve got pills for breakfast every day,
to keep my pains and fears at bay.
I’ve got a portly paunch I just can’t shift;
I feel undesired, dismissed, adrift.
My get-up-and-go is long gone,
and the days keep dragging on.
But I’ve got you, you, you, you;
I’ve got you, you, you, you;
I’ve got you, you, you, you;
I’ve got you, you, you.

I’ve got a hole in my head that can’t be filled;
time is never spent, it’s only killed.
I’m always bored, it seems nothing excites me –
my own limbic system fights me!
I’ve got watchlists I’ll never watch,
and pruritus scroti in my crotch;
I’ve got a seething sadness in my soul,
that might just swallow me whole.
But I’ve got you, you, you, you;
I’ve got you, you, you, you;
I’ve got you, you, you, you;
I’ve got you, you, you.

I’ve got tears in my eyes again tonight,
as the tyrannised unite and fight;
there’s a fiery frog in my throat now,
from all that singing: Bella ciao!
I’ve got my day in court that can’t be missed,
‘cause the government claims I’m a terrorist;
I fear for my son, I fear for my daughter,
but in this world of slaughter
I’ve got you, you, you, you;
I’ve got you, you, you, you;
I’ve got you, you, you, you;
I’ve got you, you, you.
(Yes I do)

And if you’re streaming this song on Spotify,
then we both fund weapons-grade AI.
But if it wasn’t here, then how would you hear it?
We’re over a barrel, but we don’t have to cheer it.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE F**k TO DO
when hypocrisy reigns and nothing is true,
and nobody pays for abhorrent behaviour –
F**K THESE DEMAGOGUES COSPLAYING SAVIOURS

With a rose in my fist,
and a song in my lungs,
I reach for a hand,
and I’ve got you, you, you, you;
I’ve got you, you, you, you;
I’ve got you, you, you, you;
I’ve got you, you, you.
