lyrics

How Do We Do It?

I met a poor man on the street
He said he needed food to eat
And asked if money was the only way
A rich man almost ran us down
After all this was his town
And today was going to be his lucky day

How do you do it?
Come talk us through it
How do you turn a blind eye to the damned
Then tell us all that you’re the man and wave a flag as if you’ve found the way?
Building up your riches here as if the game was crystal clear
And winners never face the judgment day
How do you do it?
Come talk us through it.
It’s funny how you always know
When someone else has made their goal
Profits soar and losers are talked down
Ego cars and hero stars and champions of the boulevard
Are worshipped as the children cry and beg
How do we do it?
Come talk me through it
How do we turn a blind eye to the damned
Then tell ourselves that we’re so grand and wave a flag as if we’ve found the way?
Building up our riches here as if the game was crystal clear
And winners never face the judgment day
How do we do it?
Come talk me through it
How do we do it?
I met a poor man on the street
He said he needed food to eat
And asked if money was the only way
A rich man almost ran us down
After all this was his town and today was going to be his lucky day
