[IDLES - Carcinogenic lyrics]
Working people down to the
Bone on their knees
9-to-5 every day of the week is
Carcinogenic (carcinogenic)
Getting minimum wage
While your boss takes a raise
As he lies through his brand new teeth, he is
Carcinogenic (carcinogenic)
Over-working, working nurses and teachers
Whilst you preach austerity is
Carcinogenic (carcinogenic)
You only die once you'll never come back
You’re gone when you're gone
So, love what you can you only die once
You'll never come back
You’re gone when you're gone
So, love what you can
Cramming people into high-rises
While selling their welfare for low prices
Public spending gets big slices
While ignoring the true crisis
Where were you when the ship sank?
Probably not queuing for food banks
Probably waving your Union Jack
Probably rallying for new tanks
Probably to blow up the ice caps
Because the lunatics have taken
Over the asylum ah ahhh
You only die once you'll never come back
You're gone when you're gone
So, love what you can you only die once
You'll never come back
You're gone when you're gone
So, love what you can
Methamphetamine, crack and heroin and living
A life on tick is carcinogenic!
Ten pints of G, Mad Dog 20-20
Two pints of Bucky and some bouzi oozi is
Carcinogenic!
Class division and bear baiting on
Television for better ratings is
You only die once you’ll never come back
You’re gone when you're gone
So, love what you can you only die once
You’ll never come back
You're gone when you're gone
So, love what you can
Bone on their knees
9-to-5 every day of the week is
Carcinogenic (carcinogenic)
Getting minimum wage
While your boss takes a raise
As he lies through his brand new teeth, he is
Carcinogenic (carcinogenic)
Over-working, working nurses and teachers
Whilst you preach austerity is
Carcinogenic (carcinogenic)
You only die once you'll never come back
You’re gone when you're gone
So, love what you can you only die once
You'll never come back
You’re gone when you're gone
So, love what you can
Cramming people into high-rises
While selling their welfare for low prices
Public spending gets big slices
While ignoring the true crisis
Where were you when the ship sank?
Probably not queuing for food banks
Probably waving your Union Jack
Probably rallying for new tanks
Probably to blow up the ice caps
Because the lunatics have taken
Over the asylum ah ahhh
You only die once you'll never come back
You're gone when you're gone
So, love what you can you only die once
You'll never come back
You're gone when you're gone
So, love what you can
Methamphetamine, crack and heroin and living
A life on tick is carcinogenic!
Ten pints of G, Mad Dog 20-20
Two pints of Bucky and some bouzi oozi is

Class division and bear baiting on
Television for better ratings is
You only die once you’ll never come back
You’re gone when you're gone
So, love what you can you only die once
You’ll never come back
You're gone when you're gone
So, love what you can
