Right Wing Beast
Resisting the Right Wing Beast: Sleaford Mods' Social Commentary
Lyrics
You used to neck everything in sight
You used to consume everything excessively
Down at the club on a Thursday night
At the club on Thursday nights
It was five-O here, it was five-O there
Police presence here and there
It was really messy and we didn't really care
Chaotic situation, and indifference
But what's gone on, what can I see?
Reflecting on current events
You're all getting mugged by the aristocracy
People are being exploited by the upper class
But what's gone on, what can I see?
Continued reflection on the situation
You're all getting mugged by the right wing beast, yeah
Society is being taken advantage of by right-wing forces
Your tailored look isn't real anymore
Posh appearance is no longer genuine
You've actually just reversed into your neighbours' wall
Metaphorical crash into societal problems
I know you really haven't, but you know what I mean
Acknowledging figurative language
Your head's full of sauce, you're a tin of baked beans
Being intellectually shallow
What's gone on, what can I see?
Observing ongoing issues
You're all getting mugged by the aristocracy
Highlighting exploitation by the upper class
But what's gone on, what can I see?
Continued observation of societal problems
You're all getting mugged by the right wing beast, yeah
Warning about exploitation by right-wing forces
It's been here for ages
Existing for a long time
Death's stuck pages
References to mortality and its persistence
Danger shuffle, watch that door
Advising caution due to danger
It's been 'ere forever
Permanence of societal issues
It makes the clever
Intelligence being manipulated
Danger shuffle behind doors
Caution about hidden dangers
It's been here for ages
Repetition of societal longevity
Death's stuck pages
Reiteration of mortality's grip
Danger shuffle, watch that door
Reemphasizing caution
It's been 'ere forever
Stressing societal permanence
It makes the clever
Manipulation of intelligence persists
Danger shuffle behind doors
Hidden dangers endure
I thought about deleting you on socials
Contemplation of removing someone from social media
Because you keep coming in with stuff
Being bothered by someone's behavior
And it's winding me up, to be honest
Expressing frustration and annoyance
I never see ya, I don't want to either
Prefer not to interact with the person
I'll just end up coming 'round to your house
Unwillingness to engage
And I'll just stick my phone in your head
Violent metaphor for expressing displeasure
But what's gone on, what can I see?
Reiterating societal exploitation
You're all getting mugged by the aristocracy
Pointing out the upper class's role in exploitation
But what's gone on, what can I see?
Continued emphasis on societal issues
You're all getting mugged by the right wing beast, yeah
Reinforcing the impact of right-wing exploitation
