"Thank You" lyrics

You're the gift that keeps on giving
Giving the gossips a reason for living
Must be so hard protecting your image now
The metaverse is on cocaine
It's the gear you been a shifting
Got stockbroker belt twitching
The fibre optics glitching
Since the markets went insane

Here comes the ricochet
The one that got away
Sniper took a holiday when
You took your guns to town
Here comes the ricochet
Every dog must have its day
You're too sick to pray
Now the walls come tumbling down

It's the joke you keep on spinning
Got the Perverts in the police grinning
The last laugh is on the women
Who tend Sarah Everard's grave
In the brothels the curtains are twitching
Got the pimps and the police bitching
13 johns been missing since they came back from Ukraine

From Miami to Honolulu
Ain't nobody getting through to you
It's only the old school bruisers
Who can still remember your name
Raised the game you been messing with voodoo
Hexes your heart with unnecessary hoodoo
The witch doctor only used you
To buy pins at the needle exchange

Thank you for the cost of living
Thank you for the wars we ain't winning
Thank you but we both know
That's another nice mess you got me into
Thank you said the saint to the sinner
Thank you said the loser to the winner
Thank you but we both know
That's another nice mess you got me into

From sunset strip to Brixton
Everybody's getting mixed up
The dogs of war are twitching
Waiting for the sun to go down
From MIT to Princeton
Money keeps getting rinsed up
The diamonds are always missing
When the bridegroom comes to town

Thank you for the cost of living
Thank you for the wars we ain't winning
Thank you but we both know
That's another nice mess you got me into
Thank you said the saint to the sinner
Thank you said the loser to the winner
Thank you but we both know
That's another nice mess you got me into
