Xtra Ordinary Times Lyrics

Between the joker in the big house and the fool across the pond

It seems whichever way you turn these days there's no-one to depend on

Cousins turn against their cousin while right wing voices cheer them on

And any kindly thoughts or wisdom is long forgotten or long gone

Has it always been the same and maybe I just never noticed

Could all the prejudice and hate be a sign that we're

Living in extraordinary times

Can we now depose the architects

Religion Billionaires and the so called elites

And treat everyone decently and live responsibly

People always seem to suffer from one empire to the next

And the need for greed and power has disastrous effects

Has it always been the same and maybe I just never noticed

All the economic games are a sign that we're

Living in extraordinary times

Complaints of economic lockdown to stop a virus strain from bats

But the poverty that Billionaires generate we're okay with that

Migrant families make the crossings with the borders out of reach

To make a front page for the media one dead baby on the beach

Has it always been the same and maybe we just never noticed

All the economic games by the people that we voted

Has it always been the same and maybe we just never noticed

All the economic games by the people that we voted

Has it always been the same
