It was just a joke
I was just having a laugh, dear
Looking over my shoulder
Just a bit of fun
It's just something the kids say
Also something that I say
Again and again and again
But you weren't supposed to hear it
You're humourless
So serious
You should smile more, smile more
You're humourless
Stop looking so glum
I was just having a look, love
Take it as a compliment
Enjoying the view
It's just something the lads do
Also something that I do
Again and again and again
Did you see what she was wearing?
You're humourless
So serious
You should smile more, smile more
You're humourless
Boys will be boys and then men will be boys and
We turn a blind eye to protect their job prospects
Boys will be boys and then men will be boys and
We turn a blind eye to protect their jobs
You're humourless
So serious
You should smile more, smile more
You're humourless
Won't somebody please think of the men?

Here to Help

Just going about his business
A mum and dad investor
Balancing the ledger
A resource extractor, sub-contractor
Everything is above board, above board
We’re here to help
Investors are people too
We’re just bigger people than you
Just greening his business
One useless step at a time
He’s helping too, environmental tagline
Baby steps – their bags are paper now
We just had a planting day
Can’t you see we're doing the bare minimum
We’re here to help
Businessmen are people too
We’re just bigger people than you
We’re here to help
Landlords are people too
We’re just bigger people than you
We’re here to help
Centrists are people too
We’re just bigger people than you

I know, I know
It’s like your mum telling you to tie your shoelaces
Eyeroll, eyeroll
your sister nagging you to be careful
Breathe in, breathe out
She just asked you to quarantine
Hold on, hold on
Let’s not take the headcrab back to earth
Cause we’ve all got to to our bit
We might be harbouring an alien
Fixated on killing you
While using your body as a reproductive vessel
Everybody should
Listen to Ripley
It’s not to late to
Listen
Everybody should
Listen to Ripley
It’s not to late to
Listen
I know, I know
It’s like a good idea that wasn’t your own
Eyeroll, eyeroll
You were just about to say that
Breathe in, breathe out
You’re not the hero this time around
Hold on, hold on
The milk robot was capitalism all along?!
Cause we’ve all got to do our bit
Humility isn't as bad
As an alien using your body as a reproductive vessel
Everybody should
Listen to Ripley
It’s not to late to
Listen
Everybody should
Listen to Ripley
It’s not to late to
Listen
Listen
Listen
Listen to Ripley
Listen
Listen
