Kingdom of the Quarantine

What you gonna do babe? Are you gonna cry?
What you gonna do before you lay down and die?
Tell me anything and you know I'll doubt it
Give me a secret and you know I'm gonna shout it
You think I don't know you owe me Electronic eyes can't see
You and Me and me and him and her, simultaneously
The things that I say, when they are said
Lose a different meaning from when they are read
Tell me anything and you know I'll doubt it
Give me a secret and you know I'm gonna shout it because
I believe everything I hear on the radio

I believe everything I see on the TV

I believe everything I hear on the radio
I believe everything I feel when I'm feeling low
I believe everything I see on the TV
I believe everything I read in the magazines
I believe everything I hear on the radio
I believe everything I feel when I'm feeling low
I believe everything I see on the TV
I believe everything I read in the magazines

Sacrilegious Simple Strategies coming after me
Tailored news that you can't choose selling fear daily
A pandemic of paranoia. Get me a professor
Call me a paramedic or another confessor
Wage war
In fact it don't matter as long as they can sell more

Aren't Arabs terrified? Aren't Iraqis terrified?
Don't Arab and Iraqi women weep when their children die?
Does bombing strengthen their determination?
What fools we are to live in a generation
For which war is a computer game for our children and just an
Interesting little Channel 4 news item.

Every Member of Parliament tonight
Who votes for the Government motion
Will be consciously and deliberately accepting responsibility
For the deaths of innocent people if the war begins, as I fear it will

Does bombing strengthen their determination?

Figure you gotta feel it out, filing around food banks
Queueing for provisions while the governments build tanks
A Quarantine, what does that mean?
To an unpaid fulltime student nurse who cannot safely breathe?
And as the mortuaries fill we drink and take another pill
Cos we can not be alone with our thoughts and not want to drill
A hole in our heads. We'll be obese when we're dead
In the Kingdom of the Quarantine, we've bought up all the bread
It's kept up frozen in a freezer in the house of a cadaver
While they're filling out a body bag, the mold will start to gather
On the food that they hoarded, they've been selfish and sordid
It could have saved a life, it's still there when the house is boarded
I hope we'll learn a lesson but my guess is that we'll laugh
When the supermarkets close cos we infected all the staff
Distracted by the need to achieve and greed
In the Kingdom of the Quarantine

We take nothing seriously
We take nothing seriously
I do not trust the Presidents
I do not trust the government

I believe everything I hear on the radio
I believe everything I feel when I'm feeling low
I believe everything I see on the TV
I believe everything I read in the magazines
I believe everything I hear on the radio
I believe everything I feel when I'm feeling low
I believe everything I see on the TV
I believe everything I read in the magazines
I believe everything I hear on the radio
I believe everything I feel when I'm feeling low
I believe everything I see on the TV
I believe everything I read in the magazines
