Lyrics

​

Well I went to buy a house but then I spent it all on coffee 

and you compromise lucidity in your brain waves with amphetamines

relying on the buskers to raise taxes for the man 

philosophers all ticking boxes for creative scotland

alternate between your deep desire to survive and nourishing your other side

that ying, yang balance some 

things need to be seen to be believed

somethings are never on tv

(Good Lord!) Etonians wi a nose bleed

 

(Ooh ooh ooh) Inside your brain just blah blah blah

you're googling a therapist again

 

Are you proud of yourselves? 

(we are, we are)

 

some days when you look back 

at all the figures of your past 

and all the pals you loved the most have turned to ghosts 

my god you're old! 

But the biggest killer here 

nostalgic minds dressed up as social progress 

don't fall in that trap  

gotta take your spirit back 

all the miracles you have applauded 

all the things you never started 

order is chaos repeated 

faith is just a word embroidered 

things need to be seen to be believed 

some things are not quite what they seem

(fi, fi, fo, fum) fairytales in the mainstream 

 

and you should know, you should know

you're not forgiven

and here you are, here you go

you royal dominions

 

Are you proud of yourselves? 

(we are, we are)
