Not As White As It Used to Be

You feel your skin crawling things don't look the same
When you were a kid everyone knew your name
'Cos times they have changed and your old road has aged
Still you won't lend your hand or give up on those days

Holding on so tightly to a dream that was never real
It was stylised and sanitised to manipulate the way you feel

Dinosaurs still rule the Earth
Old white men strangle every resource
Doesn't matter if they're close to death
All that matters is that their lives are the best
Top of the food chain sitting pretty looking down
Your house of cards is shaking listen to the sound

Caught up in your own world you can't sympathise
Too cut off and far gone and safe sealed inside
Just sit in the dark and be force-fed a lie
A diet of hatred now you fear for your life

Holding on so tightly to a dream that was never real
It was stylised and sanitised to manipulate the way you feel

Dinosaurs still rule the Earth
Old white men strangle every resource
Doesn't matter if they're close to death
All that matters is that their lives are the best
Top of the food chain sitting pretty looking down
Your house of cards is shaking listen to the sound

Every day's the same when you're living in fear
So scared in the new world you'll disappear
But soon enough it won't matter one bit
Such stubborn division so sick of it

So isolated, insulated and out of touch with reality
You're so selective, over protective
Brainwash your empathy
Put on a front for the world to see
Like some old kind man on TV
But your show's cancelled you are free
To watch the reruns quietly

Every day's the same when you're living in fear
So scared in the new world you'll disappear
But soon enough it won't matter one bit
Such stubborn division so sick of it

So sick of it, so sick of it
It's all the same and I'm sick of it
So sick of it, so sick of it
It's all the same and I'm sick of it
