On & On

So Donald is the King and Boris is the Queen
It's almost like we're living in a world of make believe
A double dose of dopamine on the daily diet
The politics are toxic, the country is divided
By crippling austerity and deregulation
Paving the path to privatisation
And to chlorinated chicken and weaponised 5G frequencies
It's profit over people, it's profit over everything
That's causing global warming, it's now impossible to deny
There's a storm brewing darling and there's nowhere to hide

And every time the world needs saving
There's a nappy that needs changing
I got some bills that need paying
I'm just gonna keep on singing

Because life goes on
And on and on and on and on and on
Life goes on

And I take a step back, try to see things differently
Because there's also an opinion that in fact we're doing brilliantly
There's never been a safer time to be a human being
There's less war now than ever before, less disease and less famine
Obesity claims more lives than starvation
More people die of old age than from lack of medication
It's quite telling of the times, it's never been like this before
More people take their own lives now than die in wars

And obviously the world keeps changing
And different battles keep raging
My tomatoes need watering
I'm just gonna keep on singing

Because life goes on
And on and on and on and on and on
Life goes on

And there's children marching in the streets, they give me hope
And they strike off school on Friday
because they can see through the joke
And the system doesn't serve them, it's gambling their future
So they'll take it in their own hands and they'll start a revolution
And I will stand beside them, try to do my bit
Help a 16 year old girl kill the oil industry

Because I believe the world's worth saving
And I hope that if we keep on learning
Then we can stop the world from burning
And we can keep on singing

Because life goes on
And on and on and on and on and on
Life goes on

Yeah life is ridiculous, it's also hilarious
It can be dangerous and sometimes even tedious
But it is resilient and it is beautiful
And I believe in it, long may it continue

Because life goes on
And on and on and on and on and on
Life goes on

Because life goes on
And on and on and on and on and on
Life goes on

Because life goes on
And on and on and on and on and on
Life goes on

Because life goes on
And on and on and on and on and on
Life goes on
