How did you ever think? How did you ever think it wasn't bound to happen? We poisoned the waterfalls (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Set fires to our rivers of hope The end of us all, well, it was always bound to happen, to happen Come on, kids, it's time to vote Boris Johnson's sniffing coke All the children are depressed Not the future we had hoped Little girls unsafe at home She's scrolling up and down her phone She hates her life, she hates herself And she's twelve years old These social apps are now our gods Since dopamine from likes and shares Then we find peace from drugs and sex And prescription anxiety meds Sweep the truth under the rug Feed us plastic GMO crops We don't need self-motivation Robots will take all our jobs How did we ever think? How did we ever think it wasn't bound to happen? We poisoned the waterfalls and set fires to our rivers of hope We're all gonna die, what do we do before it happens, it happens? You turn a blind eye when the drunk man falls Did you ever think why is the drunk man drunk? The system failed, two kids in jail And the rich get rich, and the rest get sunk Classist, sexist, racist, ableist Fascists, ageist, homophobic Country leaders fucked our futures And they think we haven't noticed Forests burning, oil spills Melting ice and methane gas Toxic waste and plastic fish We're digging holes to hide our trash Unity reeks in all our songs But we drew borders across our lands A thousand years we've been at war When the planet is dead, we will all hold hands How did we ever think? How did we ever think it wasn't bound to happen? We poisoned the waterfalls and set fires to our rivers of hope We're all gonna die, what do we do before it happens? It happens Attention, citizens Please, evacuate the country in orderly fashion And leave behind any personal belongings Uhm, that you don't need

I try to hide and deny my inner thoughts and true reactions By fooling myself with ill-concealed dissatisfaction I can't take it anymore, I can't stand the situation I don't want to be a victim of another confrontation I'll pretend that I know, I need you to sympathize I'm so unsure of myself, so please don't you criticize You can bend me and shake me, you can twist me 'til I break And whatever you do, I'll take the blame for your mistakes Pin me down I put my hands over my mouth when I need to shout You pin me down I learn to hate myself instead of letting it out Pin me down I put my hands over my mouth when I need to shout You pin me down I learn to hate myself instead of letting it out You want to shape me up just so that you can mold me in You want to fold me out just so you can fit me in You feed me full with your discriminating terrible lies What do you want from me? Should I believe in all your alibies? I don't know where to go, so which way should I turn?

What the hell is wrong with you have you lost your mind? You know we never go out this late You're making me look stupid and now I'm feeling mad It must have been something you ate I used to love you but now I'm not so sure There's something about your whole attitude I've got this feeling eating straight through my brain All you ever think about is food But you're still my bitch You're still my bitch Every time we go out for a walk in the park You're always barking up the wrong tree Now you just want attention from the opposite sex I know that you're just using me (Using me sometimes) Sometimes when you get angry you show me your teeth But I know your bark is worse than your bite And then when you get hungry it's a whole different deal You act like everything is alright But you're still my bitch You're still my bitch You always try to play those tricks with my mind But bitch I know a trick or two For every time you try to make me loosen your leash You know I'll have to punish you (Punish you) You look at me and throw yourself at me feet Hoping I might pat you on the back (punch you on the nose) But I'm not gonna go there, I won't fall for that Not until you cut me some slack But you're still my But you're still my bitch You're still my bitch But you're still my dog (Bring me those slippers)

You're politically correct no matter what you say Convincing us all in every single kind of way 'Cos you frame the words so that we really believe That there's a depth in the message that you're trying to achieve So you twist your tongue to make it all sound true Making us believe that we haven't got a clue You tell us all exactly what you think we want to hear With theatrical tactics to boost your career Every promise you make is just a promise you break You can never admit that you could make a mistake Because you say one thing and you mean something else You only care about yourself and your wealth, so all I say is Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Do you want it, why do you want it? With your military mind you were born a leader And discipline and order is an everyday procedure So bring out the man in every innocent boy And teach them how to kill so they can search and destroy To protect and to serve and die with honour and pride You say you're fighting for peace, that's the biggest lie You're preparing for war and your martial law But you don't know what it's for anymore, so all I say is Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Do you want it, why do you want it? Power is a sickness, power is to blame Power is a weapon and it's driving me insane Power is an enemy, power is pain Power is a war but to you it's just a game Power is glory, power is gold Power is chaos and you're out of control Power isn't freedom, power is a cage Power is your sin and it feeds my rage! Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Power to the one who doesn't want it Do you want it, why do you want it? Power to the one who doesn't want it Do you want it, why do you want it? Power to the one who doesn't want it Do you want it, why do you want it? Power to the one who doesn't want it Do you want it, why do you want it? Power to the one who doesn't want it

When I was young I was taught to throw sticks and stones Because sticks and stones they could break your bones The only way to get ahead that made any kind of sense Was to enrich myself at other people's expense I could walk over corpses to make myself a name I would cheat and I could lie without showing no shame People tried to stop me but they didn't understand I wasn't looking for affection or a helping hand To bad you never really understood the way of time I never looked into my mind I always meant to be the element of your crime And don't ask me why Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? Don't ask me why I never told the truth cos I believed all my lies I believed that if I made my own alibis I would find a good reason and a better excuse So I could justify my hate and my self abuse I would satisfy myself in any way I could Because I knew that I would always be misunderstood I did a lot of mean things that are hard to forgive But all I ever wanted was a life to live To bad you never really understood the way of time I never looked into my mind I got to get yourself back to the sky Don't ask me Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? I just can't disguise your heat Never need to know your beat Don't ask me why Looking back at my life there's a lot I regret I made a lot of mistakes that I can never forget But I didn't know better I was insecure I guess I never took care of my problems before I feel bad about the people that I pushed around I feel bad about the people that I let down I put the blame on myself I can't look the other way Living with my guilt is the price I have to pay Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? Don't ask me why Don't ask me why
