Текст песни: Survival + перевод

There ain’t no satisfaction in this poverty

While the fat-cat's getting sleeker now

High on prosperity

That’s the way it goes — oh, everybody knows

I don’t dare turn my heating up

Can’t afford a proper meal

So much for being equal and a level playing field

Oh, that’s the way it goes — oh, everybody knows

Turn on the news to listen, on the brink of World War Three

Posturing politicians playing games no-one can win

Oh that’s the way it goes — ooh, everybody knows

The truth gets squeezed to fill the need of corporate greed

And companies find ways to hijack our democracy

But that’s the way it goes — ooh, everybody knows

Distracted by our smartphones and our Twitter feed

Anaesthetised by Facebook and reality TV

That’s the way it goes — oh, everybody knows

We’ve never been so connected, but the disconnect is real

You’re free to express an opinion, but beware the thought police

We’ve never been so empowered, but the straitjacket is real

There’s freedom of information, but the facts are hard to see

Oh, that’s the way it goes — oh, everybody knows

Who’s pulling your strings?

Who’s pulling your strings?

Oh tell me you’re free

Oh tell me you’re free

When you’ve run out of all your options

And you’re turning out the lights

Praying for some kind of miracle

That’ll light your dark tonight

That’s the way it goes — everybody knows

When you’ve run out of all your options

And you’re turning out the lights

Praying for some kind of miracle

That’ll light your dark tonight

Oh, that’s the way it goes — ooh, everybody knows
