about

The first verse is about World War 3, the second verse is about working for the man (also known as the patriarchy) and the third verse is about something even more unpleasant.

lyrics

We're living in glorious times
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise

If you know your history you'll find the past is a foreign country
And one in which you were much more likely to die violently

The grass beneath our feet contains The Somme and Waterloo
Gettysburg and Stalingrad, and Auschwitz too

But now death falls from the sky like snowdrops
Because of new weapons of war
It'll land on us without pain
While we're playing violent video games
Or watching violent porn

We're living in a glorious age
Believe everything that your overlords say

I'd love to be a prophet shouting angry poetry
About the evils of our society

But being a mindless corporate zombie isn't bad as some people say
Nestle may break the law
Amazon does shaft the poor
BP spills into the oceans
McDonald's kills our animal cousins
But isn't tweeting about it great

We're living in a glorious age
Ignore everything environmentalists say

They say the media distracts us with meaningless tripe
Like Kanye West and his messy love life
But it's anything but trivial when you think about it
Just look at how hard he tries
To re-enter an arse that's the size
Of a slave ship

We're living in glorious times
We're living in glorious times
We're living in glorious times
We're living in glorious times
