Luxembourg vs Great Britain Lyrics

this is a better, but a slightly smaller place to be
your seaside shoreline slipping slowly into the sea
your demographic is a little top-heavy
when you're old we'll let you starve
if you don't let us be here
you've been thriving on drivel and insinuation
now it's time to shut your mouth and take a little dictation
you'd better hope your shorthand is up to speed
we're giving you your third degree

s**!
DRINK!
CONSOLATIONS!
i've given them all up to be with you
LOVE!
HOPE!
REMUNERATION!
i've given them all up for you

you think you're very special but you're all the same
a pathetic apathetic p****** life away
while slaving all these hours to pay for finery
and for fresh air, bottled water and binary
but it's not about the money
it's the hegemony that depresses the hell out of me
we've been very patient
we've been patronised
something tells me that this stage is behind us
we're standing right here, do you think you can find us?
we've made your life easy
we've stayed by your side
something tells me that the moment's upon us
we're screaming in your face and you still can't hear us
a little translation is a dangerous thing
tell the underdog it's threatened and it fights to win
while lapping up piety and indignation
now it's time to drop the act and tell me your frustrations
the slightest confrontation's undesirable
keep consequences at arm's length to keep them palatable
but i'm here to bring those consequences home to you
come on, tell me that you want me to

i've given up
everything for you
so don't say you don't want me now
i've given up
everything for you
so don't say you don't want me
i'll just stay here till you do
