lyrics

You never know what you may find out there. We’ve never lived through times like these. Not even sure that we can trust the air. We’re in the shadow of disease. Just listen out for what the leader says, take the advice follow the rules. Be careful with the thoughts that you express, because awkward questions are for fools.

Stay at home. Be afraid. Watch TV. Just stay safe. Keep buying stuff.

We’ll build a gallows in the public square, make an example, maybe two. And we’ll decide whatever you can share, we’ll pull the plug when that protects you. We are the truth we are your guiding light, we’ll tell you all you need to know. We are at war, but now the ends in sight, in weeks or months or years or so.

Stay at home. Be afraid. Watch TV. Just stay safe. Keep buying stuff.

Don’t ask the lawyer or the witch-doctor, don’t ask the newsreader or priest, don’t ask the teacher or the TV star. From north to south, from west to east, compassion has been weaponised. Compassion has been weaponised.

Stay at home. Be afraid. Watch TV. Just stay safe. Keep buying stuff.

'Nudge Unit Blues', represents something of a departure, featuring, as it does, a somewhat dystopian take on recent events. It's still about the tunes, though! ... more
