lyrics

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

All the lights in the ballroom
are burning like a thousand wells
lit up by the spark of crusaders
mission - burn in hell

still you take another swig of Dom Perignon
or Cristal or whatever gets you high
and drowns out your baying shareholders
while you set your dogs lose in the theatre of lies

did you say,
we’d be sorry
if we all
stood our ground
there’s a war
coming to you
here’s that sound

so let’s toast another year of prosperity
against the markets we have prevailed
set aside the fact, that we’re government backed because we’re
just too big to fail

so let’s crush another union and take away freedoms
in this fucked up welfare state
you don’t need the net of survival -
a bed or a roof or a square meal when you’ve got
the charity plate

did you say,
we’d be sorry
if we all
stood our ground
there’s a war
coming to you
here’s that sound
