Lyrics:

Can you believe this is life in 2022?

Can you believe this is life in twenty twenty two?
Too much to bear say farewell to your life of plenty.
Pay up just to exist, that's the cost of living.
Build up, prepare to bite back, 'cus nothing's giving.

Soylent blueblood, soylent blueblood.

Minced managing director, pan-fried politician, roasted royalty, barbequed boss!

How did we come to this time of perma-crisis?
Gouging us all each time they inflate the prices.
Bosses, bluebloods, fat cats - they don't get no thinner.
Sharpen your knives and forks friends, it's time for dinner.

Soylent blueblood, soylent blueblood. Ethical cannibalism.

Who could have guessed that when the bills began to soar
It would result in this delicious class war?
Even vegans and vegetarians are down,
Feasting upon the flesh of those in high renown.

Redistribute the wealth, count it in calories.
Proteinous gym-freak boss or fatty, oily Tories,
It's all the same to us, yeah we've got appetite.
Retribution for greed, hunger to put it right.

Ethical cannibalism, soylent blueblood, soylent blueblood.

Fillet of financial officer,  velouté of vice president, flambéed field marshall, chopped chief executive!

Why stop at just the meat? More butchery to do!
Peel off their skins like grapes, boil down their bones for glue.
Render their lard and grease for fancy candlesticks.
Get buzzed! Drink down the blood of classy coke addicts.

Soylent blueblood soylent blueblood.

Make room, make room. Make room for more.
Today is soylent blueblood day!

Savour the feast, chow down and claim our recompense.
Cholesterol and gout, a minor consequence.
Told us ‘consume, destroy' and now it’s just desserts.
Hungry work, when the social hierarchy inverts.

Ethical cannibalism, soylent blueblood, soylent blueblood.

Can you believe this is life in 2022?
