Dan Bull - One Love lyrics

More syncopated drumming i believe they call
It boom bap it's an
Onomatopoeic term to describe the sound
Of the kick and the snare ideally
The kick should be like a
Punch to the stomach
And the snare a slap to the face one love
And I don't mean tennis

I was gonna write a letter
To my friend in prison
Till I remembered that I haven't
Got a friend in prison
Most of my associates are
Well to do professionals
They probably don't need to spend
Much time in a confessional
I'll tell you what though
I better shout out Peterson
They're keeping under
Julian Assange holed up in the embassy
And doing his hardest to prevent
Himself being sent to Sweden
I've got a question and
I'm not expecting answers
But how come prison is for
Everyone except for bankers the feckless
Reckless wankers who's only
Focus is bogusness
And they still manage to go
Home with a bonus, bruv
That sets examples for the rest of us
Cos if they're not arresting them then why
The heck are they arresting us?
It's double standards
They're too big to fail
Too big for handcuffs and too big for jail
I believe the judges should
Never give sentences
Until they've spent a bit
Of time in penitentiaries
I feel relieved that despite my petty crimes
I've never had to spend a
Single second doing time

One love one love
One love one love

I see keeping animals caged as outrageous
Just to expand the range of flavours
Upon our plate disgust me
I feel I must free my
Suffering sisters and brothers
Who I trust treat it as
No more than just meat
Are resourced by the same people who
Are outraged to eat horse
You're either seated on a
Wobbly moral see-saw
Or you've simply never thought
About it before now I'm getting preachy
But getting preachy's easy
When you see diseased creatures treated
As a piece of meat
Which is obviously what they are, GG
But so am I
Does that mean that you would eat me?
Cos if you would then you're a cannibal
But, if you wouldn't then
You're racist against animals
And it's you that battery
Farming is actually harming
Have you seen what happens? It's alarming
Trapped animals bred and
Pumped with chemicals
And fed their dead family
Instead of vegetables
These are the graveyards where husbandry
Is dead to all
And yet it's where your dinner comes from
It's dreadful i'm energised and angry now
Better call me Red Bull
But, if I cared any less I'd be neglectful
Yeah I'm a fluffy bunny lover
You funny bugger i'm fucking proud of my
Compassions for others

One love one love
One love one love

There's different kinds of prison
Those that people doing time would live in
Then there's the ones inside your
Mind that keep you hiding, quivering
Poverty's a prison and it's getting bigger
It's becoming tougher for the kids
Look it up and check the figures
A silent seeker's bundled up
Inside a secret bunker
Where they are deprived of each other and
The people they love and live for
No if's, or's, and but's
Freedom's at full capacity the
Frickin doors are shut
I used to believe in capitol
Punishment till I saw
What the difference between getting someone
Back and justice is you need to be able to
Reverse an unjust decision
Because the justice system doesn't
Have enough precision
There's false accusations, human error
Prejudice corruption in the courts
We ought to put an end to this
Who? Me? I'm scared of jury duty
If I send the wrong one
Down someone'd surely shoot me
That just wouldn't work
I'd rather be sat on my booty
Watching 12 Angry Men
I'm turning classic movies
Reality scares me, till insanity dares me
To get mad and grab my pen and
Pad and rap on a rare beat
I see so many injustices I haven't
Much to give to them
In terms of giving just a single fuck for it
I must forgive myself i'm only human
Doing what I should to keep my
Mind open and tune in
Consumerism is so massively distracting
I'll battle the allure of apathy in action
I'm gonna have to beat it bad
Some so I can concentrate
On debates, important issues
And what's going on today
There's so much on my plate domestically
And yet it seems I'll never let the
Mundane get the best of me
Today is just another day I
Get to bless the beat
Yeah, today is just another day I
Get to bless the beat one love
One love one love
One love one love

For everyone who wants love
This is for everyone who wants love
(To all my niggas locked up
For Queens Branch)
It's also for Vladimir Putin, who appears
To want, rather than love, global domination
Whatever floats your nuclear submarine
Vlad one love
