Verse 1
The world stood still for a bit there,
“Two weeks,” they said — yeah, fair.
Came back swinging into backlog hell,
Turns out time don’t heal that well.
Economy’s “booming,” apparently —
Must’ve missed that bit personally.
Cost of living’s character-building.
Love that for us. Proper thrilling.
⸻
Chorus
We’re still showing up!
Woah-oh!
Still dragging ourselves out the door!
Woah-oh!
I’m literally broke —
But fuck it, I’ll buy
Me and my bestie
A milkshakes and a bacon sandwich on the fly.
Rent’s a joke,
Wages lag —
Still waving that little flag.
Yeah it’s chaos,
Yeah it’s rough —
But we’re still here.
And that’s enough.
Woah-oh!
⸻
Verse 2
Walkers crisps have more air to pay for,
Chocolate bars are shrinking again.
I’m pretty sure bread was cheaper
Back in twenty-ten.
Amazing fucking nurses
Running on fumes and grace.
The NHS trying to hold steady
While the cracks show on its face.
Some flag when the match is on —
Full patriotic roar.
Then I’m distracted instantly
’Cause some bloke’s dropped his pint on the floor.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Too many fucking potholes —
Let’s play crazy golf instead.
“Par three on the A-road, mate,”
Mind the car you nearly hit.
⸻
Chorus
We’re still showing up!
Woah-oh!
Still laughing louder than the news!
Woah-oh!
World’s on fire,
Politics wild —
Still arguing gravy like it’s life or death, child.
Yeah we’re skint,
Yeah we’re stuffed —
But we’re still here.
And that’s enough.
Woah-oh!
⸻
Bridge (Sharp + Human)
Breaking news in flashing red,
“Nation furious!” someone said.
They’ll sell us fear, then sell us calm,
Then sell us something for the harm.
But strip it back and what do we see?
Just flawed humans — you and me.
We all human, that’s the scene —
Not even better than the cat at Number Ten.
⸻
Final Chorus (Big Finish)
We’re still showing up!
Woah-oh!
Still singing off-key at 1 a.m.!
Woah-oh!
Account says “declined” —
We say “fine.”
Split the chips and stand in line.
World might wobble,
Might combust —
At the end of the day
We’re surviving in a world
Too selfish to see
That we’re all human.
And that’s enough.
Woah-oh!
Woah-oh!
Still showing up.
