Charlie Brooker - Reasons to be Fearful '14
Copied!edit Lyrics
An ever-growing sense of dread
Reasons to be fearful ’14
Constant global crisis
Syria to ISIS
Rising living prices, we can’t cope
Rolling news is leering
Looking on and cheering
Danny Dyer‘s appearing in our leading soap
Historic crimes committed
Pistorius acquitted
Dapper laughs transmitted. Shop floor war
Online woman-hating
Gamer-bloody-gating
And below-the-breadline baiting on Channel 4
Violence unending
IPhones bending
Ian Botham trending – hashtag #eurgh
Verbal diarrhoea
Annex in Crimеa
And a spider in the ear of Katiе Melua
Telly actors mumbling
No marks tumbling
And our social order crumbling while people snigger
Sony facing hacking
MPs backing fracking
And Clarkson facing sacking for saying nnnn…aughty words
Reasons to be fearful ’14
Reasons to be fearful ’14
Reasons to be fearful ’14
Reasons to be fearful 2-0-14
Reasons to be fearful ’14
Awful fear and dreading
Ebola virus spreading
Clooney’s bloody wedding and that damn song
U2 uninvited
UKIP all delighted
And everything Mark Wright did all year long
Corruption in the City
Scotland getting splitty
Woody, could he? did he? That’s no joke
Porridge for Rolf Harris
Miliband embarrassed
Cameron was harassed by a random bloke
Devastated cliff face
Choppers over Cliff’s place
Baked Alaska misplaced, feelings hurt
Solange attacking Jay Z
Atmos looking hazy
And Twitter going crazy for an ill-judged shirt
Brooks Newmark with a hard-on
Boko Haram
Her continued stardom. Jeremy Hunt
Russell’s Revolution
Contains no solution
He’s untouched by evolution – the ape-like… chap
Reasons to be fearful ’14
Reasons to be fearful ’14
Reasons to be fearful ’14
Reasons to be fearful 2-0-14
Yes, yes dear dear
But hey next year
Perhaps things might get better
I’ll prepare… that… case…
Reasons to be cheerful ’15
Reasons to be cheerful ’15
Reasons to be cheerful ’15
Reasons to be cheerful 2-0-15
Let’s try looking forward
Beyond West Norwood
Maybe things will turn good in months to come
Economies recover
We all embrace each other
And the love will spread like butter… and your mum
More Peter Capaldi
You might go on holiday
The bargain bin at Aldi's full of cheap Czech beer
You can do some voting
And new royal baby doting
Oh shit I’m sugar coating – fuck, back to fear
Battlefields burning
Stomach always churning
Benefit Street back for series 2
Every day up early
Nigel Farage and Kay Burley
Belligerent and surly on Sky News
Another coalition
Parliamentary repetition
Hatred and suspicion every day
Apocalyptic weather
Going hell for leather
That’s the end for this year now go away An ever-growing sense of dread
An ever-growing sense of dread
Reasons to be fearful ’14
Constant global crisis
Syria to ISIS
Rising living prices, we can’t cope
Rolling news is leering
Looking on and cheering
