[IDLES, The Streets - None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive lyrics]

I don't like my country
It's more of an addiction
The way girls fixate and pore over lip gloss
I'm hard to love, I make idiot jokes
But those the hardest to love are those
That need it the most
Some people drink to be interesting
Some people drink to be interested
The boss comes, fuck delays
Lust rushes, love wait's
Fuck the crushes at rush hour
Luck in love is like government power
Just fuckin' bust case

None of us are getting out of this life alive
None of us are getting out of this life alive
Full fathom five, my father lies
None of us are getting out of this life alive

None of us are getting out of this life alive
None of us are getting out of this life alive
That's why I don't go gentle
Into that good night
That's why I'm shining brighter
Than the brightest light
I twinkle like my blade in
The belly of the right
'Cause dullards don't shine for shit
They just talk shite shoulda, woulda
Coulda does not build prophecies of height
So I'll be mouth and eyes
For the sore foresight
Never act like an Audi driver
Never mix with the drink spikers
Never seen with the seat pissers
Never ever been a game misser
'Cause missin' a game'll keep
Me up all night
'Cause none of us are getting
Out of this life alive
None of us are getting out of this life alive

None of us are getting out of this life alive
None of us are getting out of this life alive
Full fathom five, my father lies
None of us are getting out of this life alive

When I was a young boy
I painted my room black
When I was a young boy, I rated the boom bap
Cut to aerial footage of a scary estate
Keep going and prove them right
Send for everyone in the night
Returning to home, still yearning to leave
Turn in the sun in worsening seas
Determined to put my searching at ease
Circling seagulls determined to eat
Into the smoke of the blue-green and chalk
Sinking and glowing and dipping, we talk
Until the cliffs become big on our port side
Closer and taller, it makes me feel short
Calling me back at the start of the year
All I ask is a star to steer

None of us are getting out of this life alive
None of us are getting out of this life alive
Full fathom five, my father lies
None of us are getting out of this life alive
None of us are getting out of this life alive
None of us are getting out of this life alive
Full fathom five, my father lies
None of us are getting out of this life alive
