Grace Petrie - Whatever's Left lyrics
[Grace Petrie - Whatever's Left lyrics]
It's like a bad dream
When I'm walking back from the
Polling station knowing that
It's all downhill from here
It's like a bad dream
When I see the mess that the
Bastards made of the NHS
It brings me close to tears
And we try to look on the bright side
But to our teachers and our parents
Can't you hear us say
"We know that Tony broke your heart
So why'd you let him stay?"
And now we're picking through the
Ruins of a better day
Just looking for whatever's left
Just looking for whatever's left
It's like a bad dream when I see that guy
With the poison words and the purple tie
On the news every night
It's like a bad dream
No one my age can find no
Work for a living wage
But still the prices rise
And we try to look on the bright side
Oh, to my teachers and my parents
Can't you hear me say
"I know that Tony broke your heart
So why'd you let him stay?"
And now we're picking through the
Ruins of a better day
Just looking for whatever's left
Oh, I'm sick of being told
That I don't understand
By people who are selling me Ed Milliband
Oh but I don't believe the
Answer here is Russell Brand
To the question of "Whatever's left?"
To our teachers and our parents
Can't you hear us say
"We know that Tony broke your heart
So why'd you let him stay?"
And now we're picking through the
Ruins of a better day
Just looking for whatever's left
And so I'm going down the
Only hopeful road I've seen
And trying to find something working
In a broken machine
And if the only red politics I see are green
Well then I'm looking for whatever's left
Oh yeah, we're looking for whatever's left
Oh yeah, I'm looking for whatever's left
When I'm walking back from the
Polling station knowing that
It's all downhill from here
It's like a bad dream
When I see the mess that the
Bastards made of the NHS
It brings me close to tears
And we try to look on the bright side
But to our teachers and our parents
Can't you hear us say
"We know that Tony broke your heart
So why'd you let him stay?"
And now we're picking through the
Ruins of a better day
Just looking for whatever's left
Just looking for whatever's left
It's like a bad dream when I see that guy
With the poison words and the purple tie
On the news every night
It's like a bad dream
No one my age can find no
Work for a living wage
But still the prices rise
And we try to look on the bright side
Oh, to my teachers and my parents
Can't you hear me say
"I know that Tony broke your heart
So why'd you let him stay?"
And now we're picking through the
Ruins of a better day
Just looking for whatever's left
Oh, I'm sick of being told
That I don't understand
By people who are selling me Ed Milliband
Oh but I don't believe the

And if the only red politics I see are green
Well then I'm looking for whatever's left
Oh yeah, we're looking for whatever's left
Oh yeah, I'm looking for whatever's left
