Crisis
From pandemic to a war
Times never cease to be cruel
The cost of living starts rising
Now people can't afford their weekly fuel
Budgets are drawn up, there's
Big cuts to the National Health
Still, the top cats sit back
As they keeping growing their vast wealth
Strikes start to happen
As the workers begin their fight
There'll be more strikes this winter
Likes the ones of a match to create light
The government stands by
As sewage pours into the river
When the cold starts to hit
Will you choose darkness...

Dreamland
The sandman pays a visit
In the dark of the night
To take me off to dream land
As my eyes shut tight
I begin to drift away
Thoughts clear from my head
I'm whisked off to a new world
As my body lies safe in bed
In this place I feel free
My mind starts to mend
No misery, stress or pain here
It's a shame it'll soon end
I wish I could stay
But the alarm clock rings
My eyes slowly peel open
Now the nightmare begins
In the dark of the night
To take me off to dream land
As my eyes shut tight
I begin to drift away
Thoughts clear from my head
I'm whisked off to a new world
As my body lies safe in bed
In this place I feel free
My mind starts to mend
No misery, stress or pain here
It's a shame it'll soon end
I wish I could stay
But the alarm clock rings
My eyes slowly peel open
Now the nightmare begins

War
A cold hearted leader
Craves total control
The bombs fall on
Kyiv, Kharkiv and Mariupol
The killing goes on
With no remorse and no soul
The rich wage the war
But the poor pay the toll
Craves total control
The bombs fall on
Kyiv, Kharkiv and Mariupol
The killing goes on
With no remorse and no soul
The rich wage the war
But the poor pay the toll

The Y Chromosome
Must be tall, must be funny
Must have the looks, must have money
Must have muscle, must have the fight
If not, then don't bother swiping right
Must be into sports, must always be tough
Must bottle up your feelings, must do other 'guy stuff'
Must handle your drink, must enjoy a good smoke
If you don't do these things, are you even a real bloke?
Must pay half your assets, must play the court's game
Must give up the children, must take all the blame
Must be left broken, must bring your life to a halt
If you do all of this, it'll...
Must have the looks, must have money
Must have muscle, must have the fight
If not, then don't bother swiping right

If you don't do these things, are you even a real bloke?
Must pay half your assets, must play the court's game
Must give up the children, must take all the blame
Must be left broken, must bring your life to a halt

Life in 10 words
Born with crying eyes
Life full of lies
Everybody dies
Life full of lies
Everybody dies

Music is My Medicine
Music is my medicine
The whole world makes sense when I sing
Feel the rhythm, feel the beat
Time to get up and move your feet.
Start the day with a bangin' tune
Keep it playing til the afternoon
A funky chorus with a catchy rhyme
Just hope I sing the words on time
In the car, out for a drive
The melody makes me feel alive
Turn it up, make it loud
Sing it out, and sing it proud
Music is my medicine
The whole world makes sense when I sing
Feel the rhythm, feel the beat
Time to get up and move your feet ...
The whole world makes sense when I sing
Feel the rhythm, feel the beat
Time to get up and move your feet.
Start the day with a bangin' tune
Keep it playing til the afternoon
A funky chorus with a catchy rhyme
Just hope I sing the words on time
In the car, out for a drive
The melody makes me feel alive
Turn it up, make it loud
Sing it out, and sing it proud
Music is my medicine
The whole world makes sense when I sing
Feel the rhythm, feel the beat
Time to get up and move your feet ...

Dementia
I wake up in bed
My mind full of fears
Where is my wife?
Then I remember,
She's been gone for 5 years.
I get up and get dressed
Go get something to eat
Suddenly, I realise
My slippers on
The wrong
Feet.
I pop some bread in the toaster
I open the fridge door,
I try pouring some juice
But half goes on the floor.
A man comes to visit
He seems such a nice guy
When he leaves he says 'bye Dad'
But I never had a son, did I?
The reality
Is dawning
My brain's...
My mind full of fears
Where is my wife?
Then I remember,
She's been gone for 5 years.
I get up and get dressed
Go get something to eat
Suddenly, I realise
My slippers on
The wrong
Feet.
I pop some bread in the toaster
I open the fridge door,
I try pouring some juice
But half goes on the floor.
A man comes to visit
He seems such a nice guy
When he leaves he says 'bye Dad'
But I never had a son, did I?
The reality
Is dawning
My brain's...

Confessions of the Heart
I took out a mortgage on love
But it fell into arrears
Nothing left to show for it
Except a heart full of tears
The pain cuts so deep
My mind's cracking up like glass
I just need to fight through this
In time it will soon pass
I thought I did right
By doing the best I can
But it seems it wasn't enough
To stop you leaving for another man
Colours turn to grey
Songs don't sound the same
Seems I'm just another loser
In love's wicked game
But I mustn't lose hope
Can't enjoy sun without rain...
But it fell into arrears
Nothing left to show for it
Except a heart full of tears
The pain cuts so deep
My mind's cracking up like glass
I just need to fight through this
In time it will soon pass
I thought I did right
By doing the best I can
But it seems it wasn't enough
To stop you leaving for another man
Colours turn to grey
Songs don't sound the same
Seems I'm just another loser
In love's wicked game
But I mustn't lose hope
Can't enjoy sun without rain...

Repercussions
You rise
We fall
You fly
We crawl
Seems like you don't care no more
You got your selfish way, now get the fuck out that door
You've left the family in tatters
But as long as your happy I guess nothing else matters
Your actions have caused so much pain
They've turned me inside out and they're driving me insane
You rise
We fall
You fly
We crawl
Now we're living with so much stress
You're doing what you want but we're stuck with your mess
Life is hard, and you've made it much...
We fall
You fly
We crawl
Seems like you don't care no more
You got your selfish way, now get the fuck out that door
You've left the family in tatters
But as long as your happy I guess nothing else matters
Your actions have caused so much pain
They've turned me inside out and they're driving me insane
You rise
We fall
You fly
We crawl
Now we're living with so much stress
You're doing what you want but we're stuck with your mess
Life is hard, and you've made it much...

The Race
Out of bed, eat your breakfast
No time to delay
Get your running shoes on
Cos today is race day
Approach the start line
The watches all sync up in time
A quick fire of the gun
This is it, time to run
Faces etched with motivation
A true test of determination
Feel the burning sensation
Bodies drenched in perspiration
Take on some hydration
The races reaches its culmination
The winner is crowned
Medals are handed around
You got round the track
Time to get your breath back
Go home,...
No time to delay
Get your running shoes on
Cos today is race day
Approach the start line
The watches all sync up in time
A quick fire of the gun
This is it, time to run
Faces etched with motivation
A true test of determination
Feel the burning sensation
Bodies drenched in perspiration
Take on some hydration
The races reaches its culmination
The winner is crowned
Medals are handed around
You got round the track
Time to get your breath back
Go home,...

Pandemic
In a far away market
Where the food's kept unclean
A disease is coming
Contagious and unseen
People fall ill
And soon end up dead
Things are getting serious
The disease starts to spread
Warnings are issued
But it's not our problem yet
It's not in our country
So there's no need to fret
More people get infected
But it's still not a big deal
Now the disease is on our shores
Suddenly shit just got real
The people start to panic
And lose all self control
The shops are cleaned out ...
Where the food's kept unclean
A disease is coming
Contagious and unseen
People fall ill
And soon end up dead
Things are getting serious
The disease starts to spread
Warnings are issued
But it's not our problem yet
It's not in our country
So there's no need to fret
More people get infected
But it's still not a big deal
Now the disease is on our shores
Suddenly shit just got real
The people start to panic
And lose all self control
The shops are cleaned out ...
