"Zombie Nation" lyrics
(feat. Suggs)
I get up, I go straight back to bed
I can't find the motivation
I get up, pop a pill for my head
As I watch the Zombie Nation
What kind of nightmare is this, that we find ourselves in?
We're all locked in a ship, that is slowly sinking
And as I look around the room, it's like nobody is thinking
They're not even blinking
And then the Samba rhythm starts to play 'round the Parliament grounds
As they tell us that we should be British and proud
But I feel like I'm falling faster than the Pound
Cryin' and I'm screaming, but I can't make a sound
Cheer up, it might never happen
But what if it already did?
They've been cuttin' and slashin', screwing this country since I was a kid
I get up, I go straight back to bed
I can't find, the motivation
I get up, pop a pill for my head
As I watch the Zombie Nation
Suggs
What kind of a godawful mess, have we got ourselves in?
Where the scandal is normal and compassion is sin
And as I look around the room, it's like nobody is thinking
They must have been drinking
And then the Samba rhythm starts to play 'round the funeral pyre
Singing, "God Save The King" whilst they're stoking the fire
Is it peace that they want, or something else they desire?
Have all our brains been shrunk, have we been left in the dryer?
Cheer up, it might never happen
What if it already did?
They've been cuttin' and slashin', screwing this country since I was a kid
"Cheer up, it might never happen"
"Guess what? It already did"
Waving a flag with a heart full of passion
Jumped in a grave that they made you dig
I get up, I go straight back to bed
I can't find, the motivation
I get up, pop a pill for my head
As I watch the Zombie Nation
I think I've seen a scene like this before
Though it was in the cinema
The walking dead were banging at the door
Looking hungry like they're wanting more
I think I read a scene like this before
It was in 1984
It's such a shame, it's such a bore
(Is there anyone who isn't at it?)
I get up, I go straight back to bed
I can't find, the motivation (don't wan' to fight)
I get up, pop a pill for my head (I get up)
As I watch the Zombie Nation
Oi! Cheer up Jack, it might never happen
Think it already has, Suggs
I get up! Heh
I can't find the motivation
I get up, pop a pill for my head
As I watch the Zombie Nation
What kind of nightmare is this, that we find ourselves in?
We're all locked in a ship, that is slowly sinking
And as I look around the room, it's like nobody is thinking
They're not even blinking
And then the Samba rhythm starts to play 'round the Parliament grounds
As they tell us that we should be British and proud
But I feel like I'm falling faster than the Pound
Cryin' and I'm screaming, but I can't make a sound
Cheer up, it might never happen
But what if it already did?
They've been cuttin' and slashin', screwing this country since I was a kid
I get up, I go straight back to bed
I can't find, the motivation
I get up, pop a pill for my head
