Lyrics

Keep On Keeping On

Seasons, never changing
Reasons, ever more absurd
Feelings, emotions raging
Dodgy dealings covered up with weasel words

Choices, made in anger
Voices, divide and rule
Houses, emasculated
Rabble-rousers serve the greater fool

You’ve got to keep on
Keep on keeping on
Keep on
Keep on keeping on

We’re led by leaders who lead by letting their cronies get first dibs at the pie
Barons buy readers to own the voters and sweep away the little white lies
Down in the gutter and hiding in fridges and turning a blind eye to spies
Pulling up shutters and burning down bridges with no care for the brittle brown lives

You’ve got to keep on
Keep on keeping on
Keep on
Keep on keeping on

Believer, never questions
Deceiver, sells a lie
Fever, illusion beckons
Pull the lever, throw the loaded die

Freedom, no consequences
Treason, see how they tried
Protection, tear down defences
Rejection, turn back the wasted tide

You’ve got to keep on
Keep on keeping on
Keep on
Keep on keeping on
