Lyrics

Everyone But You

Those people whose job it was to see
That the water was worth drinkin’ and the air still fit to breathe
Are gone like the park rangers and all the scientists too
You thought they’d fire everyone but you

Yeah they fired a hundred thousand said “you can’t work here anymore”
You cheered and said that’s exactly what you voted for
A hundred thousand families and all the work they do
You thought they’d fire everyone but you

Yeah you thought they’d fire everyone but you (2x)
Now the fridge is empty and the mortgage is due
You thought they’d fire everyone but you

They were charging at the border, sent prices through the roof
Sent all the migrants home, there’s no one left to pick the fruit
Then they pardoned all the criminals just like they said they’d do
You thought they’d fire everyone but you

And they shut down education, gave the diplomats the shaft
Cut the funds for the disabled, fired all the chiefs of staff
In case they needed to take over, you said that’s all right too
You thought they’d fire everyone but you

You thought they’d fire everyone but you (2x)
Now you’re in need some assistance but they ended all that too
You thought they’d fire everyone but you

Maybe you’re so religious, maybe you’re a billionaire
Maybe you just had to send some people back to who knows where
That devil, thief and liar you’ve promised yourself to
You thought he’d burn everyone but you

Yeah you thought he’d burn everyone but you (2x)
Now you’ve stared into the fire, and you just don’t know what to do
You thought he’d burn everyone but you
