Lay two pennies on the dead man's eyes We both know money can't die Spend all your pennies on the fire in the skies We both know money can't die Lay two pennies on the dead child's eyes We both know money can't die Bury the bodies in the dirt and the lies We both know money can't die We overstay every welcome and we overplay every card We clap our hands in the Commons when the thinking gets too hard You say you're sick of sitting on the fence so you burn it down and build a wall instead You tell me it's not time for all my liberal thoughts as you count out all your pennies for the dead

Bad Blood 02:46
Schoolboy fascists sing the songs of marching boots and hate It seems the most expensive education goes to waste And so goodness only knows how fast the bad blood flows We're knee-deep in the shit and it clings to our clothes Poison posters echo all the horrors of our age Take the words as bullets and the bodies to the graves We're weighted down with gold We're swimming with the rich but we'll drown with the old We've tasted all the wasted words and tears and hopes and fears and lives
