White Tsar

The White Tsar in all his glory
Petrified of a news story
The Nihilists are in their waking
Vera Rose knowing its all for the taking
From Russia with a loving smile
While a royal man is standing trial
They are caught when the pigs rush in
But that same royal has something up his sleeve
The note from yours truly put her out of her misery
As her brother walked to Siberia’s symmetry
He frees the people from the white paranoia
Whoever knew this would be a joyous disaster
The minister has a vengeful awakening
And joins the Nihilists in their second taking
The plot thickens as they take a bow
And they point to the girl to take the new king out
The violence
From his highness
And they’re so silent
As the mask reveals the heir to the White Tsar
In his royal throne
Says he plans to overthrow
The injustice in Russian borders
Indoctrination for their patience
He asked for his Queen
In the quest to end Russian tyranny
Has gone ahead and reached the finale
The spell on her fragile mind
Stayed out with her revelry
Can she put her heart before her cult
And break the one unspoken rule
Not to love or be loved
The White Tsar has had his glory
He’s just another news story
The Nihilists have had their making
Vera took the ultimate taking
From Russia with a grieving smile
Was is it all really worth the while
The White Tsar in all his glory
Petrified of a news story

Another Day at the Zoo

Another Day at the Zoo
Xenophobia in our train stations; bent coppers; tree huggers, hung for their opinion
Dancing banned for the lower classes; spice in the town hall
Sexual devastation in our parliament; the working man with the fear of the iron hand
Expensive cheap cocaine for our businessmen, marking lines across our borders
Is this what the world is coming to?
Doomed lovers dance with the devil; nurses surviving at the food-bank
Politicians with large homes and private parties, wishing they weren’t so alone
British bombs dropped on minors, but that’s not on Love Island
This bulldog’s on a chain and Uncle Sam’s smiling
Is this what the world is coming to?
Walking and talking and fucking destroying
Everything, anything, another day at the zoo
I haven’t witnessed poverty, but I’ve seen what a broke man can be
I’ve witnessed white privileged opinion and it’s posted all over social media’s delirium
We marvel at our expansive oceans, but I’ve been to the bottom and it’s filled with plastic
My friend said she was scared to look different to me
As she held me close and whispered that, “he touched me again”
Is this what the world is coming to?
Walking and talking and fucking destroying
Everything, anything, something for nothing
Walking and talking and fucking destroying
Everything, anything, another day at the zoo
Girls forced to dance upon tables, as the creepy eye
Of this try-hard, waste of breath, nudges me,
Asking if he “can only look”; how an STD-ridden prostitute
Only charged him two fifty for things I wouldn’t even understand
Or dream of, baby, this is reality; she earns her living, he pays his way
Is his life worth living? Did she not think to stay?
The government wants us dead or if not to work every single day
Until we can no longer stand under the greed of our forefathers
This is what the world is coming to
