Everything Must Go

Everythin' must go Everythin' must go Everythin' must go No squares in the circle Everything must roll What's the plan when the smoke clears An' it all takes its toll? I don't know Uh Futurist Ludicrous Like the news except my views are true and I cut through the mist Scrupulous I'll dismiss if you persist Deep down I'm a youthanist Still ruthless Bitter sweet Neutralist Not new to this I can see the world dwindlin' Got my spider sense tinglin' I'm just out here minglin' All I see is politicians runnin' round tryna keep their pockets jinglin' Sounds like I'm singlin' Can't forget about the back scamps and the swindlin' No point in lingerin' Everybody's gotta eat Somebody's gonna cheat Out here on a tightrope tryna stand on their two feet Kids are tryna be street It's peak Get swept off of their feet before them condos are complete Yeah it's deep Everythin' must go No squares in the circle Everything must roll Rollin' up that crow It's gettin' out of control What's the plan when the smoke clears An' it all takes its toll? I don't know Everythin' must go Everythin' must go Everythin' must go No squares in the circle Everything must roll What's the plan when the smoke clears An' it all takes its toll? I don't know Uh Bottle poppers and socialites Gassed up and over-hyped No oversight Really puttin' on a show tonight Not me I'm overtight Girl told me I'm miserable She said why you gotta over analyse Why can't you just let lose and have fun like them other guys? Jumpin' round like orangutans on the table With their sparklers And their champagne all publicised Why you always gotta sumarise Why can't you just live life in the moment? And act like this glamour life ain't just a bunch o lies? But I'm wide awake I can't fake no more Wide awake I can't take no more It was fun while it lasted But it's the kind of shit I can't rate no more Kind of shit you get carried away and start movin' lose And get posted up on your Instagram and fans hate you for 'Cause the excess just vexes The world's more complex than being first name on the guest list Or s*xist, being reckless with a dancer in Texas Named Lexus I'm restless Textin' all my exes like Everythin' must go Everythin' must go Everythin' must go No squares in the circle Everything must roll What's the plan when the smoke clears An' it all takes its toll? I don't know The last thing we want to have in our city is a situation like a-such as Paris Where erm the less well off are pushed to the suburb, that is not going to happen in London I will emphatically resist any attempt er to-to-to recreate a London In which the rich and poor can't live together --- Everything Must Go - Dizzee Rascal
