lyrics

I’m living pay check to pay check, but am I free tonight yeah you bet
Get a round in, seven pounds a pint
walk home with my keys between my fingers, and my headphones out
Girls be careful out there, you don’t know who’s about
My boss don’t care about my feelings, guess I’ll pile up to the ceiling
I’ve got that Gen Z, millennial, 99, I don’t fit in, I can’t win, you call me a snowflake
I’m watching while the world burns, boomers gotta boom I guess
And I was 17 in 2016, yeah you know what that means,
Now I get a blue passport, and I can’t work overseas,
And now I’m 23 paying rent and taxes
And I didn’t get to vote on the thing that’s now effecting the masses

And yeah I know I’ll be fine
But don’t you feel like you’ve been lied to
And yeah I know I’m not gonna die
But no one should have to
In great Great Britain, but hey
What do I know
BIG TALK, little girl

I cried of joy when Biden won, popped a cork, booked a flight to New York
Now there’s girls getting forced, to have babies
While white kids with guns get let off the hook
Another country divided by a book
Hey look
London’s burning again, this fire didn’t start with some bread
Oh god, its 40 degrees, Mum would you look at the trees
It might get better with Greta, but no one listens to girls
You can say what you want but it’s still a man’s world
My job is here in the city but I can’t find a flat
There’s all these rich kids jumping off their parents backs
And yeah I know I’ve got privilege and this is the first world
But I’m always feeling helpless and I can’t help anybody if I’m always broke

And yeah I know I’ll be fine
But don’t you feel like you’ve been lied to
And yeah I know I’m not gonna die
But no one should have to
In great Great Britain, but hey
What do I know
BIG TALK, little girl

2020 people dying while I’m sitting at home
While Boris wears his party hat, pours beer down his throat
My best friend holly she moved out, lived on her own
So she could care for sick children who were in ICU all alone
So yeah, I’m pretty angry, a girl went missing by my house
And when we went to lay our flowers the police pushed us to the ground
I’m sick of being body shamed, slut shamed, told to sit down
My teachers wouldn’t teach me politics so my mum taught me to shout
And you might say that I’m sensitive and your generation had it worse
But don’t you wish your parents had put their young people first

And yeah I know I’ll be fine
But don’t you feel like you’ve been lied to
And yeah I know I’m not gonna die
But no one should have to
In great Great Britain, but hey
What do I know
BIG TALK, little girl

I’m so young, how dare I kick up a fuss
I better turn off the news, but my trust in Truss
But hey, what do I know
BIG TALK, little girl
