paroles de chanson The Ultimate Price - Asbo Slipz

We're heading for a reckoning
We're into the unknown
Unfamiliar territory
Should I stay? Or should I go
Out into the city lights?
To mingle with the unclean
Risk contamination by a
Killer with no vaccine
And I'm glued to my news feed
I'm looking for the answers
While they tell us just to Carry On
And go and take our chances

It seems, to me
Their betting our lives
On the roll of a dice

Sing Happy Birthday and wash your hands
Sing it twice
Build herd immunity, unfortunately
You're a casualty
It's a war out there
And we need a sacrifice

Somebody somewhere
Somebody somewhere
Has to pay the ultimate price

Pulling down the shutters on the
Pubs and clubs and cafes
Closing down the restaurants
The cinemas and everyone's
Stocking up on bog rolls
Bulk buying rice and pasta
Hiding in our houses just to
Weather this disaster
As we spiral into lockdown
Into splendid isolation
Ripping out the beating heart
Of this divided nation

And it's plain to see
The cracks that appear at
The first sign of fear

Sing Happy Birthday and wash your hands
Sing it twice
Take what you need and then take some more
After all
It's a war out there and
Only the shit survive

Somebody somewhere
Somebody somewhere
Has to pay the ultimate price

And they said that we were ready
Everything had been prepared
Lying through their teeth to stop the
City boys from getting scared
And I know that this sucks
But you're shit out of luck
The wards are full all
You can do is join the queue
When your down on your knees
Then pray you've no need
Of respiration on a
Non existent ventilator

Well your name's in the hat
Can't say fairer than that

Sing Happy Birthday and wash your hands
Sing it twice
Pray to your God if you have one
For clemency
It's a lottery
If you have luck you might
Just survive

Somebody somewhere
Somebody somewhere
Has to pay the ultimate price
