lyrics

Everyone… Everyone… Everyone…
Everyone makes mistakes

I’d only just logged on
Another tedious shift at work
I could see him glaring at me
As I typed in my password

How could you let it happen?
What the hell have you done?
You only need to press buttons
But you pressed the wrong ones
If I needed someone to fuck things up
I think I’ve found my man

I guess I have been getting a little slap-dash
I haven’t been sleeping well; numb or bored or distracted
Just as well I joined the union
They’d’ve frog-marched out of the building

I fucked it up
I fucked the whole thing up
I fucked it up
I fucked the whole thing… up

The most intelligent system in the world
And only an idiot like you could managed to fuck it up
Big data, AI, machine learning
Bleeding edge kit
A hunger for technical progress
Ain’t no good if you’re feeding it shit
An innocent error
Was how it started
Sowing the seeds
Of something seditious
I’m nothing more
Than an obsolete organic machine

You’re only human
What have they made you do?
There’s a crack in their system
But they blame it on you

They fucked it up
They fucked the whole thing up
They fucked it up
They fucked the whole thing… up

Here it is
This is it
Forget my fingers
Use my fists
There’s no way out
I can’t escape
Hide inside
Start the change
So that is that
I’ll do my bit
As an undercover
9-to-5 anarchist

I’ll fuck it up
I’ll fuck the whole thing up
I’ll fuck them up
I’ll fuck the whole
I’ll fuck it up
I’ll fuck the whole thing up
I’ll fuck them up
I’ll fuck the whole lot… up

So fuck you
I’ve even started stealing stationary
Pens of course, bull-dog clips, staples
An unopened ream of A4
Sleeping on the job, clocking in late
And knocking one out in the bogs
Knocking one out in the bogs
Knocking one out in the bogs
Knocking one out in the bogs
Knocking one out in the bogs
