Plant Roses in It

[Verse 1]
Look at all these lives with their credit card knives
Carving out debt goals, no wonder kids hide in ket holes
From their diminishing prospects, but all is not lost yet
The world still needs bankers and other capitalist wankers
To keep this cycle repeating, the already loaded palms need greasing
Breeding more greed is exactly what the world needs
Programming children like you program your telly

[Chorus]
Yeah yeah, it's all shit
Yeah yeah, it's all shi-i-it
Yeah yeah, it's all shit
At least some of us are tryna plant roses in it

[Verse 2]
Imagine not having your rent, 'cause your hard-earned all-benefits cash got sent
Straight to the bailiffs, how the fuck you gonna pay this?
By working on the side, just make sure that you hide it
From all those nosy neighbours, doing society a favour
To keep this daft game repeating, the poor need another metaphorical beating
Bleeding others' needs doesn't plant more seeds
Customising status like you customise your news feed

[Chorus]
Yeah yeah, it's all shit
Yeah yeah, it's all shi-i-it
Yeah yeah, it's all shit
At least some of us are tryna plant roses in it

[Verse 3]
You can have a key to a brick noose and a little hook to hang it
A recycle box that tells you that you're helping save the planet
A charitable donation to keep some CEO comfy
That rinses out humanity from your conscience monthly, but

Social responsibility lies
With refusing just to close your eyes and
Pretend it's not your problem
You've got strife in your life, well we've all got them

[Chorus]
Yeah yeah, it's all shit
Yeah yeah, it's all shi-i-it
Yeah yeah, it's all shit
At least some of us are tryna plant roses in it

Yeah yeah, it's all shit
Yeah yeah, it's all shi-i-it
Yeah yeah, it's all shit
At least some of us are tryna plant roses in it

[Outro]
What did you do for someone else today?
Anything that took you out of your way?
