Lately (I’ve Been Thinking)

Lyrics

Don't wanna have to hurt nobody But I gotta get this off my chest Realised from way back home I may have had nobody but voddy and stress And if you ever showed me kindness Please don't be taking offence I focus on the bad more than the good But I digress Born in the early 90s, years of more war Pop culture making us ignore IRA keep bombing, Section 28 still on it More homeless than ever before Doesn't it make you wonder Why we even bother at all Has the world really changed Aren't you left wishing for more Has the world really changed Aren't you left wishing for more I don't mean to be preaching Lately I just been thinking What is this all about Why do we do it to ourselves I don't mean to be preaching Lately I just been thinking What is this all about Why do we do it to ourselves Rising rent low wages, baby boomers Thinking we got it all Just cos we have the awareness Of the bigotry of their flaws Apart from that we got jack shit No home to hang our hats Just a damp expensive flat, forever renting Told to settle for that In the world of brands and Kardashians We keep our eyes wide shut Dressed fresh to death in clothing Made by sweat and blood And I'm guilty of wanting the Nikes Gives me confidence and cool But are we all complicit in something bigger Than our conscience can afford I don't mean to be preaching Lately I just been thinking What is this all about Why do we do it to ourselves I don't mean to be preaching Lately I just been thinking What is this all about Why do we do it to ourselves
