The thing we stop feeding always dies...

lyrics

There’s a guy who claims he isn’t racist
You know him well, his name's been in the papers
His face is all over your news feed as well
Used to be the leader of the EDL
You know the guy I mean
He’s a little angry vigilante
Wants a land of only white christian families
Statue guarding darling of the far right
And shout out whoever milkshaked his arse twice
He’s emotional with a ten year old's wit
Xenophobic and pleasant as Covid
He's got his anti islamic clan in a panic
Claiming that Muslims are planning to run the whole planet
Walking contradiction, talking all his fiction
Built his career claiming Sharia Law’s in Britain
Allah fearing
Biriyani eating
Charlatan
Out reasoned by Akala
And defeated by his arguments
He’ll hate you for your skin and judge you on your origin
That type of ideology has gotten Boris in
He’s fuelled by hate and I don’t know what's wrong with him
You know his name, his name's To...

In fact, na, fuck him. I won’t mention his name
I int giving him the platform, attention or fame
That's just giving him the power he craves
He’s getting rich off of our outrage
Its the demise of Pennywise
Cover your ears, avert your eyes
The thing you stop feeding always dies
The thing you stop feeding always dies

There’s a woman, who lives to be offensive
She used to be a contestant on The Apprentice
Then she made a name from being controversial
A provocateur, purposefully hurtful
You know her
Daily Mail columnist
Gollum's sister
Solipsistic
Donald Trump apologist
She's a modern twist on the wicked witch
Ridiculously privileged and rich
Yet still filled with bitterness
That’s why LBC dropped her, then Twitter did
And put an end to all her racist dog whistling
And on the record let me show my support
To that guy her who flew her to Prague for a phoney award
A blistering cyst on the side of pop culture
That’s fair game, she called migrants cockroaches
And big up Rashford, our poor kids’ll eat this summer
All she did was write an ugly tweet about their mothers
Like 'why should her tax pay for their offspring'
Famous for nothing except these hateful offerings
But love will rule the day, I promise hate’ll not win
You know her name, and her name’s Ka…

In fact, na, fuck her, I won’t mention her name
I int giving her the platform, attention or fame
We’re just giving her the power he craves,
She’s getting rich off of our outrage
It's the demise of Pennywise
Cover your ears, avert your eyes
The thing you stop feeding always dies
The thing you stop feeding always dies
