## Lyrics

[Intro: *Spoken*]

*This next songs for fucking Donald Trump!*

Stop being a twatty!

*Atlanta! Jump, jump, jump, jump!*

[Verse 1]

And I'll admit I've never been broke but I have been broken

Shout in silence, while searching for a token (oooh), out of kindness

This one's for you King Charles, you mess with the people

Took the taxes to fund the evil (ooohh) sound familiar?

The mindless divide us, and when we need guidance, you give us the silence

It's spineless and blindless, and we will bite back, not sit here smiling

When they chose to attack student loans and the first time homes, it's time to know

At the moment, they're neglecting the young, and it's really scary being under 21

[Chorus]

Honey, we want your money (woah)

Get out your wallet and give us your, money! (wooah)

And you might as well throw in your soul

[Interlude]

Sorry, mate

We're taking your car

[Verse 2]

I see you just royal pretending, too sober to spend us

You talk about lease but then no one surrenders (woah)

From a cynical man, with no fucking plan

When it all goes wrong, there'll be no, confession (woah)

Only a digression, a concession, a society's aggression

We'll create a phenomenal compression, on the heads of the youth

What do we do? Say what do we do, man, what do we do?

What do we do, man, what do we do?

What do we do, man, what do we do?

What do we fucking do?!

[Chorus: *Spoken*]

Honey, we want your money (wooah)

Get out your wallet and give us your, money! (wooah)

And you might as well throw in your soul

Be fucking happy!

*See Adam on the fucking guitar*

[Adam's guitar interlude]

[Interlude: *Spoken*]

Sorry, mate, eh

We're taking your car

*Let me see them hands in the air, all the way to back baby, I can see ya!*

*Now scream it with me*

[Bridge: *Audience*, **Spoken**]

We're taking your car now, sir

*We're taking your car now, sir*

**Sorry?**

*We're taking your car now, sir* (**Atlanta!**)

*We're taking your car now, sir* (**Jump, jump, jump!**)

[Chorus]

Honey, we want your money, yeah!

Get out your wallet and give us your

Money (woah) and you might as well

Throw in your soul

Honey, we want your money, yeah!

Get out your wallet and give us your

Money (woah) and you might as well

Throw in your, soul

*Atlanta, you fucking with me?!*

[Outro: Spoken]

Fuck yeah, baby! Aww, we love Atlanta, man, fuck me.

Now this next song goes out to anybody who feels misunderstood because they don't conform to a fucking box!
