Dan Bull - You’ve Been Cancelled lyrics

These days everybody's getting cancelled
Every day I look at news
There's another new scandal
Another YouTuber who abused a younger fan
Or introduced loot boxes to kids to gamble
Whose Ku Klux Klan's fan club
Has just been found, fool
They ought to know better
They just brought about their own downfall
So now they're snuffed out of
All society like candles
'Cause after all it's important that
We make an example
Anybody damaging morality will damn
Well be deplatformed
Drag them off the dance floor
Kick them out the back door
And if they're asking
"Whatchu do that for?"
Then tell them sweetly darling
Sweetie you've been cancelled


You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
Get to the back of the queue
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
Everybody's laughing at you

I'm dropping Roseanne Barrs
Go incredibly hard
I'm aiming straight like James
Charles or Jeffree Star
Seducing Jeremy Kyle
His telly's terribly vile
And Michael Jackson might have
Actually been a pedo-phi-phile
Add to the file with R kelly, ah well
He had it coming but why does no one care
Louis Walsh can grab a woman
By the bum on telly?
Like it's something socially acceptable
I hope I never see Louis
CK showing me his testicles
Stop it, Harvey Weinstein, God
She's only nineteen
Why have we got to be like this?
Why's Bill Cosby got to spike drinks?
Maybe, just don't? It's obvious
You might think plus we need to stop these
Twinky vloggers wearing light pink


You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
Get to the back of the queue
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
Everybody's laughing at you

You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
It must be something you did
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
So pick up a shovel and dig

(Ayy) it's a sport now
Try and take them down in one go
Heidi, hi, Tati, bye, Tana Mongeau
But if the court of public
Opinion is so valid
Why're we less interested in Xi
Jinping than in ProJared?
Hey, that's a heavy case Kevin
Spacey might be facing
For participating in the hate
Against poor Trisha Paytas
She's been painted and portrayed
As vicious and manipulating
And so has H3H3, maybe stop reciprocating
All of this Twitter debating's making
Me twitchy and shaking
Flagrantly gesticulating, mate
My brain is fricking aching
I'm in distress, and while
I'm in this dress, i'm no damsel
Mess with me and you'll be so so cancelled

You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
Get to the back of the queue
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
Everybody's laughing at you


These days everybody's getting cancelled
I didn't finish that list of
Them, I had to stop, it made my hands sore
We've got our hands full remembering
What they've been banned for
It could be for decades of depravity, and or
Expressing an opinion that Twitter
Couldn't stand for
Like racism or claiming it's okay
To sock and sandal
But if you're going to ostracise
Somebody then be damn sure it's justified
Proportionate and the proof
Of it's substantial
What I'm saying's these days
Everything is circumstantial
With crowd mentality, everyone gets trampled
Now stand tall with your back
Against the damn wall
Any last words? Ahh, too bad
You're cancelled!

You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
Get to the back of the queue
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
Everybody's laughing at you

You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
It must be something you did
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
So pick up a shovel and dig

These days everybody's getting cancelled
Who's going down next? Place your
Bets for the grand draw
Look into my glass ball and let's make a bet
On the next cancel casualties
Press F to pay respects
They'll cancel Dr disrespect for
Working with Gillette
Cancel the Chainsmokers for
Smoking a cigarette
Cancel David Attenborough
Touching badgers inappropriately
Markiplier, prowling round the park at
Night and poking people
They'll cancel Kanye West for towing
To the Trump line they'll cancel PewDiePie
It had to happen some time
You know who I find
Problematic? Nigel Mansell
For no reason other than that
It rhymes with cancelled

You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
Get to the back of the queue
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
Everybody's laughing at you
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
It must be something you did
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
You've been cancelled
So pick up a shovel and dig

These days everybody's getting cancelled
Any time you open your mouth now
It's a gamble
Course you've got free speech
Be thankful you can talk
But keep it PC or you're about
To get your ads pulled
Jabba the Zuck'll drop you down
To meet the rancor
Anyway, I can't say I've got my hands full
There's a problematic toxic
Patriarchy to dismantle
Your sincerely and dearly, Dan Bull
