Who’d a Thought by The Real McKenzies Lyrics
There'd be a struggle for the status quo
The working class would be out on the go
Gearing up for a new revolution
Putting down the fascist institution
Culture as we know it taking a swerve
People fighting to get what they deserve
Middle class gonna take
It in the face
The end of what we'd call the human race
That they'd be killing us
With too many cars
Heating up the earth
Is going too far
Pumping chemicals
Are boiling in the water
Industry is setting us all up
For the slaughter
Tearing down houses
At an accelerated pace
Stacking up pricey
Condos in their place
There's no remorse
And nothing to give
A normal person can't afford
A place to live
Who'd a thought
We'd ever see the day
Who'd a thought they would
Throw us all away
Who'd a thought
Take a shovel as you dig
Who'd a thought
For the cheating lying pigs
There'd be people starving in the street
Freezing in the cold with nothing to eat
That our society would throw them away
Asking how it happened?
But it's happening today
Religious leaders, powerful they say
They're so archaic that
They're down on the gays
With a negative attitude as this
Anyone with half a brain
Would be taking the piss
Who'd a thought
We'd ever see the day
Who'd a thought they would
Throw us all away
Who'd a thought
Take a shovel as you dig
Who'd a thought
For the cheating lying pigs
Should be ashamed of yourselves
You greedy jerks
So live your hollow lives
Pray to God and go to church
Your selfishness despicable
Leave your poison legacy
But leave us all out of it
'Cause this has nothing to do with me!
Who'd a thought
We'd ever see the day
Who'd a thought they would
Throw us all away
Who'd a thought
Take a shovel as you dig
Who'd a thought
For the cheating lying pigs
The working class would be out on the go
Gearing up for a new revolution
Putting down the fascist institution
Culture as we know it taking a swerve
People fighting to get what they deserve
Middle class gonna take
It in the face
The end of what we'd call the human race
That they'd be killing us
With too many cars
Heating up the earth
Is going too far
Pumping chemicals
Are boiling in the water
Industry is setting us all up
For the slaughter
Tearing down houses
At an accelerated pace
Stacking up pricey
Condos in their place
There's no remorse
And nothing to give
A normal person can't afford
