The Old Story, Chapter one
Dog Whistle Politics
If you drop a pebble in a pond
You can watch the ripples for a thousand years
Secret codes from the past
Whispered into ancient ears
So Sing your songs of hope and glory
Wave your flags from the grand old days
Theres some you win and theres some you lose
Old stories still making the news
Another riff on a twelve bar blues
Wave your flags from the grand old days
Chapter two
There Is Nothing New Under The Sun
See, everything is second hand sunshine
It's been around since the very start
Look at the walls
You'll find it written on your temple walls
And in the rhythm of your beating heart
Sing your songs
So sing your songs of hope and glory
Wave your flags
Wave your flags from the grand old days
Some you win
Theres some you win and theres some you lose
Same old stories still making the news
Another riff on a twelve bar blues
Wave your flags
Sing your songs
Another riff on a twelve bar blues
Another riff
Time for some good news
Chapter three
What goes around comes around
The wind changes and the tide will turn
Fire doesn't care whose house's burn
But good news from a distant shore
Is cold water to a thirsty soul
So sing your songs of hope and glory
Wave your flags from the grand old days
Another riff
Some you win and some you lose
Another riff
Old stories still making the news
Another riff on a 12 bar blues
Some you win
Some you lose
Old stories still making the news
Sing your songs of hope and glory
Wave your flags from the grand old days
Some you win and some you lose
Old stories still making the news
Another riff on a twelve bar blues
Another riff on a twelve bar blues
Old stories still making the news
Old stories still making the news
Old stories still making the news
