Songs: The Price Of Your Mistake

notes / gigs / releases

We live in complex times
And no-one could have prophesied
That our plans to strip the assets
Of the earth could be bad for the planet

It’s not our fault – we’re not to blame
In our place you’d've done the same
And that’s why you’ll all have to pay
The price of your mistakes

‘Cos you watched us – you stood by
Allowed us, as we tried
To harmlessly destroy the world
Who could’ve known such a plan wouldn’t work?

It’s not our fault – we’re not to blame
In our place you’d've done the same
And that’s why you’ll all have to pay
The price of your mistakes

We’ll all make a sacrifice
We’ll do the killing
And you’ll die
Just trying to make things better
And this way we’ll all be all in it together

Here’s a new plan, it’s cunning
Give us all of your money
It’s the best idea we’ve ever had
You'll have to give us what's left of your cas!

It’s not our fault – we’re not to blame
In our place you’d've done the same
And that’s why you’ll all have to pay
The price of your mistake
The price of your mistake
Just pay!

This is the point in the show where we all finally agree that it's DEAD POLITICAL. Throughout the entire run I had to manfully struggle against the desire to go "IT'S SATIRE! LOOK! SATIRE!" because, really, by this point it was pretty obvious. Still that voice in my head kept saying "But are you SURE everyone's noticed?" Yes, brain, I think they had.
