Open Door Policy - Beans On Toast

The world is dying

Shit is getting serious

Everybody’s lying

It’s impossible to tell the truth

It’s worry, worry

Worry, worry

Worry, worry

Worry, worry

All the time

That don’t solve anything

I never used to be the worrying type

But I’m not exactly sure

What I’m supposed to say

When it feels like Armageddon

Is a stone’s throw away

And everybody voted for the greedy in charge

Well if this is a fight

Then maybe we lost

But, me I’m a pacifist

Eternal optimist

I’ll keep on singing

Stating the obvious

Simple subject matter

Over-analysing a cup of tea

Where did the milk come from?

I bet it was a tragedy

There’s Fluoride in the water

It’s blurring the vision of my third eye

But still I put the kettle on

What a time to be alive

And I’m not even sure

If the facts are true

Cause I’m constantly bombarded by so many points of view

And, I am my own propaganda machine

I believe what I believe I am supposed to believe

And I’ll believe in anything

So show me everything

I’m dancing like a puppet

Not knowing who is pulling the strings

Dark money and big data

And the mass manipulation of the human race

Advertising’s Frankenstein

Knows me better than I know myself

Every website that I visit

Every bit of porn I watch

And every shred of news I read

They analyse, hypothesise

Then use it as a weapon

To brainwash me

And now I’m almost convinced

That all the news is fake

But I’ve been staring at the screen so much

That I fucked up my neck

And, I am my own propaganda machine

I believe what my computer

Wants me to believe

Oh, I sit and stare at it

Think I’m above that shit

Hook, line and sinker

Fell for the internet

It was always gonna happen

The robots are coming now to take our jobs

3D printers printing 3D printers

3D printers printing jails and guns

Well this car needs a driver

And these brains need reality

Not just a phone strapped to your face

While immersing yourself

In a world of make-believe

But I’ve kind of come accustomed

To the, 360 view

Because it’s almost realistic

And kind of believable

And, I am content as long as I am entertained

And walking off a cliff is one hell of a game

So, I’ll put my headset on

Say «See you later folks»

I can’t even hear you while you’re

Stating the obvious

But what is life if not

A brilliant barricade of obstacles

I’ll carry a stranger’s bag down the stairs

But I can’t carry the weight of the world

And so I watch the flowers grow

And I listen for the beauty

As it shines from in-between the gaps

There’s a light at the end of the tunnel my love

So don’t you ever give up

And they’ve discovered seven planets

Orbiting a distant sun

They are light years away

But they remind us of home

They remind us to hope

They remind us to dream

And all the wonderful things

Human-beings can achieve

So, quit your worrying

Start your partying

One door is closing

And another one is opening
