We dance like new years eve, we
We dance from sheer relief, whoa oh
Everything must change
The people that you projected as
We were nothing of the sort it sold us all short Put down the champagne No toast to the legacy
(no way) And all the propaganda of prosperity That’s what a machine does and they don’t need therapy You turned us into a nation of haters
Far right appeaser/ believer in whatever get you leader/
Dog whistle through the speakers/ see who bites it I noticed a hell of a lot of people liked it
An ethical choice is simpler if you price it Conquer by dividing that’s why you admired him? unless pushed we would never have retired him
Fuckin pirate history will damn him/
once it seemed like nothing can damage him
[mandarin line]
Crook, you got your arse played in Mandarin
Finally the King is Dead, we cried off with his head Everything must change, Everything must … Nothing stays the same oh, Nothing stays the same oh
Yeah Cats I know are feeling just like the rapture I can tell who this mood is failing to capture It’s like somebody finally did light that match up And burn down the parliament, learned from the argument Can’t be non-partisan, when you’re an artist And you put your heart in it, and that’s not even the half of it Like my man said, we’re talking butter and bread Better if his words were never uttered again Mostly vindictive, who could have predicted Just a few tax breaks to keep us all addicted The dickhead dictator leader imitator Made me feel immature when I said “I hate ya” Did you read the paper the day after and hear the laughter? I’ll read it to you, it starts with M McKew and ends with you No broader view from the people on your ship that you used to call crew Huh! That’s typical, now I guess it’s difficult For the type of person who only thinks of individual No residual, you’ll see our resilience Take your bat and ball and head for the pavilion
Just promise me this, no rose petal glasses, quickly confine him to part of the past

Captures my sentiments so well..
Haha my favourite line is
“Crook, you got your arse played in Mandarin”
That line really made me smile :)
Can someone translate for me what was said before that?
Lyrics blatantly taken from here

# If everything else fails, retreat (traditional Chinese: 走為上; simplified Chinese: 走为上; pinyin: Zǒu wéi shàng)
If it becomes obvious that your current course of action will lead to defeat, then retreat and regroup. When your side is losing, there are only three choices remaining: surrender, compromise, or escape. Surrender is complete defeat, compromise is half defeat, but escape is not defeat. As long as you are not defeated, you still have a chance.
This is the most famous one of the 36th strategy, immortalized in the form of a Chinese idiom: “Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing is best.” (三十六計，走為上策 – sānshí liù jì, zǒu wèi shàng cè)
