we read the papers every day
I can prove anything,
I'll make you admit again and again
That I can prove anything,
The way that it's written, again and again.
And it's only 'cause you came here with your brothers too,
If you came here on your own you'd be dead,
It's only 'cause you follow what the others do,
It's not excuse to say you're easily led.
You could choose anything,
You choose to lose again and again,
And you could do anything,
But why should you do anything again?
And it's only 'cause you came here with your brothers too,
If you came here on your own you'd be dead,
You're winding yourself up until you're turning blue,
Repeating everything that you read.
So here we go with a letter,
Can you fix it for me?
Because we need entertainment
To keep us all off the streets.
So tonight, you'll sleep softly in your bed...
You could try anything,
And no one would know, apart from you and me,
You could stop anything,
It starts with just one, and turns to two then three.
And it's only 'cause you came here with your brothers too,
If you came here on your own you'd be dead,
You raise a glass until you raise a fist or two,
And get a shopping basket wrapped 'round your head.
So here we go with a letter,
Can you fix it for me
For 24-hour drinking
To keep us all off the streets?
So tonight, you'll sleep softly in your bed...
We are the Angry Mob,
We read the papers every day,
We like who we like, we hate who we hate,
But we're also easily swayed
