Breathe

The world keeps on turning

While towers are burning

And people just stopping to see

They’re all taking selfies

In Knightsbridge and Chelsea

Their own fifteen minutes for free

Now we’ve got the gist as

Turkeys vote for Christmas

And then help to stock all the shelves

They’ll stuff and they’ll season

Each other, no reason

It’s like they’re just trolling themselves

Everybody needs

Some air to breathe

So come on and breathe with me

Come on and share the air that I breathe

In an ivory tower

They sit drunk on their power

To steal everything that you own

They continually take the piss

You probably won’t notice

Busy with shit on your phone

Relieved of your health

Just to boost their own wealth

And your personal info is hacked

So stay for the course

While they rape each resource

And watch while the land’s getting fracked

Everybody needs

Some air to breathe

So come on and breathe with me

Come on and share the air that I breathe

Using your voice

Gives illusion of choice

That we live in a land of the free

It’s never been funny

To give all your money

And pay for the privileged to be

But the cheating and lies

Drowning out the last cries

Makes everything come crashing down

There’s no more to steal

Now we’ve lost the appeal

For our governors’ shiny new crown

Everybody needs

Some air to breathe

So come on and breathe with me

Come on and share the air that I breathe

Everybody’s free, maybe

Illusion is here, baby

So come on and feel deeply

Come on and share the world while it’s free

Everybody feels

Nothing is real, really

So come on and breathe deeply

Come on and share the air that I breathe

Everybody breathe

Breathing is free

So come on and breathe deeply

Come on and breathe the air that I breathe
