Spilling racists’ coffee
Getting ready for the war
I heard they banned the action
Couldn’t stand them any more
While Donald Trump sends prison ships
To the Straits of Hormuz
The buzzing of the drones
Drowns out the words he can’t defuse
And voices on my radio
Ask who will pay for this
The politicians answer
Take the benefits
Off boys in balaclavas
Shocking shoppers in the town
And absent dads masked up in ports
To shut the lifeboats down
Or feckless old folk triple-locked
They say we can’t afford
While pandering to donors
Who hide all theirs abroad
Spilling racists’ coffee
Rupert screeching it’s so wrong
He wants to ban the protests
But he’d never ban the bomb
That don’t fit the story
Where he says that he’ll restore
An imaginary Britain
Getting ready for the war
Drunk on Blitz spirit
When they lied about their age
Trapped in algorithms
Grifting on their rage
An attack by boiling liquid
Melted snowflakes in the street
Spilling racists’ coffee
Hear them bleating in retreat
Save your outrage mate
There’s a real war on its way
That just how the maths works
When there’s shareholders to pay
Spilling racists’ coffee
Milkshaken to the core
Just waiting for an Archduke
Getting ready for the war
