Hold up! I got something to say And I don't wanna ruin the rest of your day But some dogs are bastards by training not birth Sniffing out your drugs without knowing what they're worth So hate The Job but don't hate the dog It's the police who wanna make them a cog In a Babylon system fuelled by injustice Gimme a break when all I wanna do is Smoke weed pet dogs! All cops are bastards, but all dogs are good So who are all these oxymorons in my neighbourhood Dogs that couldn’t consent they been forced into slavery Turn man’s best friend to your boy’s worst enemy Pranging me out at the station after the session It’s for no one’s protection just nicking kids for possession Turned a loyal companion into a narc for a plant Don’t wanna live in a world where we can’t Smoke weed pet dogs! Bad dog, bad dog I know it's not your fault They got you sniffing for my drugs like you're turning summersaults And I know that you'd rather be playing in the park Instead of busting into my home while it's still dark And you’re going through my stuff and rifling my drawers Enforcing the laws but your vision is flawed Well the dogs don't have a choice but the police sure did Get out my house when all I wanna do is Smoke weed pet dogs!

Well the Beeching report was the beginning of the end Then they broke up British Rail and private companies contend To profit off the infrastructure we all used to own Ticket prices shot up, people's income hasn't grown All the standard carriages are packed out while the first class ones are empty Almost like the system's set up for the few and not the many More want renationalisation than ever wanted Brexit Give us a vote on that one and I swear you won't regret it First Class war! First Class war! Public transport should be public like it used to be before First Class war! First Class war! Bunk a train and dodge a fine and now you know the score Rail franchises have failed but the country voted Tory So they'll give them to another business and repeat the story Profits paid to shareholders are never reinvested So it's hardly a surprise seat reservations are all messed up Mr Johnson was a bellend, he lied through that election Are his abandoned children really missing his affection He funnelled your tax money to a bunch of shifty firms Now they’re sitting back and laughing while your public service burns First Class war! First Class war! Public transport should be public like it used to be before First Class war! First Class war! Bunk a train and dodge a fine and now you know the score Tax the rich! Fund the railways! Football fans on Saturdays can go and fucking die I wanna get to where I'm going without your misplaced pride No one wants to hear that you think your mate's a cunt Because he's in a loving marriage not having your kind of fun If you're talking in the quiet carriage I will fuck you up Have respect for fellow humans keep your stupid mouth shut Hot tea from the buffet car I'll pour it down your throat I’ll shove a muffin up your nose I'll watch you fucking choke First Class war! First Class war! Public transport should be public like it used to be before First Class war! First Class war! Bunk a train and dodge a fine and now you know the score Tax the rich! Fund the railways! Choo choo motherfucker! First Class war! First Class war! Public transport should be public like it used to be before First Class war! First Class war! Bunk a train and dodge a fine and now you know the score Tax the rich!

Spin 03:44
I said I don't know what the fuck's going on Don't know who to trust so I trust no one I said I don't know what the fuck's going on Don't know who to trust so I trust no one Everyone seems to lie to me From my BFFs to the BBC I just switch off live ignorantly Cos all this spin making me dizzy Records dirty, so you're skipping over shit That people need to hear to get the full pic Think no one will notice, see how long it lasts, till someone pulls you up, put that shit on blast But it doesn't really matter, the crowd has moved on No one wants to remember the bits that went wrong Rose-tinted fragments are all that they will need To craft their own vision a warped reality I said I don't know what the fuck's going on Don't know who to trust so I trust no one Everyone seems to lie to me From my BFFs to the BBC I just switch off live ignorantly Cos all this spin making me dizzy Everyone's got an agenda, a certain point of view They’ll act like Obi-Wan and tell you it's the truth But that didn't work out for fucking Alan Guinness A certain point of view, what kind of bullshit is this? Don't know what matters, I don't know how to feel Don't know where to go to hear the real deal Now I'm growing tired of living in the dark If Vader is my father, gotta tell me from the start Cos it's massive headline, tiny retractions Dodge the blame and bury their actions Massive distraction, wait and see What they'll redact from the inquiry Propaganda and bullshit everywhere Just stir shit up then disappear You can't believe the words you're reading I'm so tired of this fucking spin Said I don't know what the fuck's going on Don't know who to trust so I trust no one Cos everyone seems to lie to me From my BFS to the BBC So I just switch off live ignorantly Cos all this spins making me dizzy Making me dizzy Making me dizzy Making me dizzy Making me dizzy

Prison should be abolished, private prisons should go first Serco would be demolished, Rupert Soames dead in a hearse You shouldn't be astonished, his company's the worst They're hoovering up contracts, that the Tories doling out We endure the impact, they enjoy the clout This cabinet should be sacked, the country's up the spout All I know is this ain’t the answer Tory rule, endless fucking disaster Propaganda to brainwash the masses Divide and conquer, fuel the rise of fascists All I know is this ain’t the answer Tory rule, endless fucking disaster When they ban protest, know their time is up Think we can all agree Shit's fucked, oi! Millions paid for face masks, and they weren't worth a cent Did the job all half assed, while we can't pay our rent Take the Tories to task, on how your tax is spent I'm sure we've had our fill, of divisive culture war They all paid their mate's bills, and you default on yours Decades of neglect kill, and yet they're pushing more All I know is this ain’t the answer Tory rule, endless fucking disaster Propaganda to brainwash the masses Divide and conquer, fuel the rise of fascists All I know is this ain’t the answer Tory rule, endless fucking disaster When they ban protest, know their time is up Think we can all agree Shit's fucked, oi!

Paw Patrol 04:05
See them round town and it makes me nervous Paw Patrol always there on the double Tendering contracts ya gotta be cautious Scooping up profit from society's trouble Privatisation of public services G4S and Serco don't got shit on this Neoliberal dogs well I ain't ever heard of em Ryder acts like all of the Bay is his All dogs go to heaven... but not dictators Paw Patrol are class traitors! Skye wears pink like gender predeterminism Never found its way off of kids TV The mayor's a puppet ruler trapped by chauvinism What kind of example is this to see Casting outsiders as a criminal element While Paw Patrol corporation is heaven sent Devoid of context it's a binary redolent Of stereotyping that fuels displacement All dogs go to heaven... but not dictators Paw Patrol are class traitors! Drone surveillance of a willing populace Chase panoptically keeps the peace Shoplift treats and then your boy's merciless Keeping dissidents off the streets Whenever there's trouble don't yelp for help No one likes a grass and you know that you'd be Better off resolving conflict yourself So let's defund Paw Patrol A C A B All dogs go to heaven... but not dictators Paw Patrol are class traitors! Class traitors!

Quit your job, get a dog Well dogs, man they’re fucking great You get licked, all over your face Jobs man, they’re fucking shit Getting paid for your time well I can’t get used to it Quit your job, get a dog Drop the fuck out, raise a canine, honestly it’s the best use of your time Getting up for your job, man it’s the worst For me right now, it’s dogs come first A dog wakes you up, at the start of the day Look at its face, hip hip hooray! Quit your job, get a dog Drop the fuck out, raise a canine, honestly it’s the best use of your time So quit your job, if you’re financially stable And get as many dogs as you are able (to) Just one more thing, in case you missed it A dog is for life, and not just for Christmas! Quit your job, get a dog

Dealer Time 03:22
I would like to get high tonight But my weed man’s a fucking wanker When I really need him he never comes through He said he’d be ten minutes but even I’ve got my limits Now I’ve been waiting fucking hours ‘til they legalise what am I to do? So much of my life just waiting for draw on dealer time I hope it’s gonna be here soon So much of my life just waiting for draw on dealer time Don’t you know we’ve got better things to do I would like to get high tonight But my weed man’s a fucking wanker Is he on his way, how am I to know? He’s taking the piss, I can’t be dealing with this Why can’t you just be straight with me? Gonna take your time just tell me so So much life just waiting for draw on dealer time I hope it’s gonna be here soon So much of my life just waiting for draw on dealer time Don’t you know we’ve got better things to do I would like to get high tonight But Teresa May’s a fucking wanker She don’t listen to scientific proof Let’s her husband grow it and everybody knows it Thank the fuck she’s not still in power but Rishi Sunak? Proper cunt as well So much of my life just waiting for change from Tory lies I hope it’s gonna be here soon So much of my life just waiting for draw on dealer time Don’t you know we’ve got better things to do

Buckfast and weed, it’s just what you need To get a brand new point of view, body won’t know what to do Speed down, slow up, wait what the fuck? I don’t know what’s true, one love? Fuck you! Excitement abound, the sights, the sounds Mind’s mush, got energy but this shit ain’t me Too much Bucky’ll give you too much front, turn you into a massive cunt So listen. take heed, little Buckfast, loads of weed
