lyrics

Last night I had a dream about a beautiful future we could all inhabit,
Where we recycled everything,
Cars ran on positive energy,
And children still believed in magic,
And all we had to do to make it happen,
Was show unconditional love to the planet,
And put aside our differences,
So we could all learn how to be telepathic.

The answer my friend,
Is blowing in the wind,
The times they are a-changing,
But it's all so confusing,
Everybody's talking at once,
No-one's listening,
Cus unfortunately,
All the revolutionaries,
Are on drugs.

Early one morning as I was watching,
Peaky Blinders on the television,
I came up with a hundred percent workable,
Alternative to capitalism,
I immediately began calculating,
The logistics of my magnificent vision,
But then I rolled up another fat one,
And Peaky Blinders was suddenly more interesting.

The other day I was overwhelmed,
By a monumental feeling,
That finally gave life, the universe and everything,
Some kind of meaning,
I wrote it down so the next day I could give it a reading,
It said -
"When I stretch my hands up high enough I can almost touch the ceiling!"

London's burning,
With boredom now,
London's burning,
Dial nine nine nine nine nine,
London's burning,
With boredom now,
London's burning.
